Largely depends upon your game style.

If you like to kick back and simply hold the trigger down, go for the mixmaster. It is manuverable enough that you can run if needs be, and tough enough to serve you in most situations. All you need to do is find a hallway and hold the trigger (and pray that no shadow zombies show up.)

The hornet is a bit of a blank slate (curse that biosynthesis!), leaving you with options. I would recommend either overclocked or piercing. The first would give you an insane rate of fire, and given the damage and pierce inherent in the rifle, it'll slice down mobs of zombies in the blink of an eye. The second may not cut down zombies as quickly, but it will cut down more of them. Of course, you could always stick with the tried-and-true capacity or damage upgrades.

Again: it depends on your playing style.
