I think at least 20cm , meson weapons have a shorter range but are equally effective over the entire range , I tend to find that Cannonades, Railguns , torpedo's are less effective than lasers but still go with them sometimes.
For a platform I prefer a ship as that way I can move to keep the arriving ships at effective range , although if you sit onthe JP at least he cannot send the jumpship out for reinforcements without getting shot up. My preference for JP defense is short range high speed missiles as you can hopefully get your hits before the attackers point defense can come up
