I've used them. Laser heads inflict the same damage profile as normal missiles, so lack penetration, have half the damage total as a standard warhead, and of the damage that they do have, it's evenly distributed among the beams. They also seem to cost half as much, but considering a sandpapering effect far worse then that of railguns, I consider them useless in their current state. I hope Steve revisits them soonish so they perform effectively as standoff weapons.
