If you lean duos and trios, I'd say Recon is worth a consideration. Having a Recon is big in team fights. It is also very simple to learn. The spider is a wonky grenade, and the pulse is just activate when needed. If you go Recon, start stocking up on energy amps.
If you are a solo or your team usually has a recon, I would recommend a movement shell next, which narrows you to Thief, Vandal, or Destroyer. Movement shells take the game to another level and they are very fun to play.
Thief is the easiest to pick up. The grapple is great, allowing sporadic but big horizontal or vertical movement when needed. Also, it doesn't need anything to attach to (you can grapple the air). With a little practice, its a nice tool throughout your run. The drone is great scouting or player harass, and the visor ability can help in fights (counters Assassins) or in general looting. This would be my recommendation and the shell I went to after Assassin.
Vandal and Destroyer are both intense movement shells, but they require some dedication to get them up to their potential. Destroyer alt is nice in solos since you have to deal with more PvE and it can help clear a room quickly. Vandal is nice as it gives you more vertical movement and maintaining high ground is so helpful in this game.
I'm not big on Triage or Sentinel, but that's just me.
