The shiskebab is pretty effective. I used a lot of melee weapons on my first playthrough, and that weapon always stood out as being much better than anyone else I had.

I think the most useful setup I've had so far was in my first game, where I maxed out big guns and had decent small guns skills. I destroyed everything within short range with the flamer and used the Reservist's rifle for long range. The flamer is incredibly powerful if you max out big guns and get the pyromaniac perk. Plus, you don't need to use VATS. One time, there was a shitload of Talon mercs coming at me, and I just sniped em all from afar using the missile launcher.
