A Disruptor will live longer to dish out it's damage and since it is a 'Tank' it can 'regenerate' (if the Tank is not hit too badly the 'Hit Meter' goes back up over time).

The Disruptor also seems to have a 'special ability' (like a PT's "Beast Mode") in that I always see that it gets a 'finish them off shot' (if the Disruptors fire and pause but just one more shot would finish the Target off the Disruptor will take that one shot right away without waiting for the next firing cycle).

If I was going to use only one or the other I would choose Disruptors IF a huge Warp Gate were available, otherwise I would use Shrikes as multiple guns is a bit better than power.

I find it best to use Disruptors with Shrikes and then send the Spectors in later (if not first, as is the case in some instances). The Disruptors block for the Shrikes, which can fire a hair further. Once some of the Guns are cleaned out the Spectors can hit the HQ from far enough away that they don't get hit before you win.
