In the beginning of the game, I always switch the starting weapons for my interceptors to a Stingray (I think it's already there) and I replace the long range missile with the weaker cannon. The smaller Alien crafts don't really need more, and when they get a little bigger I switch to two Stingray missiles. 6X2 Missiles is usually better than 2X3 missiles anyways, even if the long range missiles hit stronger. If they all miss, which may happen, you have nothing to fall back on.
It's only when big aircrafts start to pop up and I go a steps higher in aircraft armament.
