I like the air blast a lot also, but my fav is still backburner cos of the +50 health. It makes you uber hard to die.
The flare gun is good on maps where there is no water, and there is only linear offense defense, like dustbowl, some parts of hydro. It's also effective in places where both teams are unable to move forward or backward, and the battle goes on in a localised area(due good sentry defense) with wide open areas.
And also, flare gun is useful when you're moving in a group, cos if you're caught alone without a shotty, you're pretty defenseless.

I'm thinking the axetinguisher looks super cool and all, but I don't really use it that much,maybe cos I suck at melee weapons
Yeah, the +50hp really gives me a headache when I'm VS'ing Pyros with the BB

But I do change accordingly, such as when I'm in a spy-ish mood, I'll use backburner

I can't really aim with the flare gun though, coupled with the slow firing rate, just make me stay away from it even more

Probably because you're using the BB more, which guarantees critical hits too. I use axetinguisher when I ambush them, flame and axe, and also when I couple it with the airblast - a skill I'm trying to master
