Nope. Mesons ignore Armor and Shields. They are fairly good if you just want to gut out a ship. Since they ignore Armor they are also good Point Defense when armored missiles are involved.
High Power Microwave are the anti-electrical weapons. HPMs are good against Sensors and Shields and ignore Armor. If you catch someone without Shields they will quickly be blind. In "Class Design" under "DAC/Rank/Iinfo" you will find "Electronic Only DAC". That is the chart for HPM hits.
