I was using Nomad Cannons only when I started playing Freelancer, but now I exclusively make use of the Nomad Blasters. As you said yourself, damage is almost identical. What the Blasters have in advantage over the Cannons IMHO is their increased rate of fire and thus their increased chance to hit. More shots fired = more chances to hit.
Nomad guns combination that suits you best and why?
