They're great on multirole ships (since a valid 'installation' requires low tonnage) and as flexible PD/anti-ship weapons. Even larger anti-ship railguns (>=20cm) can be used effectively in the antimissile role; this doesn't tend to be true of other large beam weapons, as the turreting requirements are prohibitive.
