Ions are more common than neutrons on everything except gank catalysts. Neutrons require some hefty tradeoffs.

-Damage is inferior
-Range is inferior
-Fitting is superior (better tank, ewar, etc)
-Tracking is superior (mostly just a bonus if you find yourself stuck with small guns)
Fitting the "largest" guns in the class often requires you to skimp on tank. The "medium" level is pretty standard on a lot of fits.

This is only true for armor tanking. Shield tanks take up midslots, so instead of damage you are sacrificing ewar. There are a few basic things that every fit has to balance - each comes at the cost of some of the others.
-Damage
-Range
-Tracking
-Signature Radius
-Speed
-Ewar
-Tank
You are correct that fitting a big armor tank will reduce your damage....however if you fit no tank at all you are likely to pop instantly and you won't have any time to do dps, meaning you do less damage anyway. Balancing that list "perfectly" is why fitting is such a science. No fit is perfect in every situation...some demand more tank...some more dps...some more speed. It depends on what you are fighting and how you fly.

Agreed and disagreed....Depending on your tank and what you are fighting you may be interested in keeping transversal high to mitigate incoming damage. A neutron atron vs. a tormentor for instance. Sure the atron has more dps, but also a lot less tank. Might be better off with ions or electrons and orbiting to reduce laser damage.
