The AV weapons are so varied, it's hard to believe they're in the same class. I believe they're balanced though. Here's my take.
TR Striker
Pros
Nice all-round weapon, 3 shot clip, easily deployable indoors, good against VS Max jets, air units have to really move quick to evade
Cons
Relatively weak damage per shot, have to keep visual to maintain lock (kinda hard when a reaver is trying to pick you off)

NC Phoenix
Pros
Slightly more powerful than the Striker per shot (I think), it's major advantage is that you can shoot from cover and if you're good w/ it, actually shoot targets taking cover, no missile lock warning against air
Cons
Hard to deploy indoors, 1 shot clip, difficult to hit fast moving targets.

VS Lancer (limited experience and only on the receiving end)
Pros
You can snipe with it! It does a shed load of damage too! Kills REF troopers in a few shots, fast projectiles, easily deployable indoors, chews through maxes quickly
Cons
I have no idea
