I can't work out which operating systems fit best with which types of builds.
Any advice?

Raven microcyber (legendary, sold at kabuki market ripperdoc) for hacking and you can get it early as you can once you earn $35k;
Qiant sandevistan mk.4 (legendary, 15 reflex required, sold by fingers MD) for bullet time.
Purchase overclocking heatsink spec from Heywood ripperdoc to reduce cooldown.
(Beside QianT MK 4) There is a MK5 iconic variant of the QianT Sandevistan called "Warp Dancer" but I don't think it is as good. It slows things down a lot more but the cooldown is 30 seconds.
The best cyberdeck imo is Tetratronic Rippler MK4. The reason this thing is crazy is because it makes your hacks propagate really fast and make them highly spammable due to cooldown reduction. There is an argument to be made for Netwatch Netdriver MK5
Raven is hands down most broken to be upgraded for Netwatch later.
I haven't tried out Berserks yet but I have done Cyberdecks and Sandevistans.
Sandevistans:
These slow everything around you to x%. The in-game description is wrong, so if a Sandevistan says it has 10% time dilation, what it really means is you press E, and everything becomes 10 times slower than you. If it says 25% time dilation, it means everything becomes 4 times slower than you.
Your fire rate and melee normal attack (combo) also decreases while Sandevistan is active. Normal melee combos also break due to the slow animations so you can't really do them properly. Melee heavy attack animations are unaffected and swing just as fast as they normally do. Sandevistans are best suited for melee. You activate it, rush in and heavy attack everyone to death. When Sandevistan duration expires, you see all the headless bodies hit the ground at the same time.
Its good for guns too if you don't have godlike aim. You can do Matrix/Max Payne style slow motion kill sprees with it.
The best Sandevistan is probably QianT Sandevistan MK4 (from Fingers MD on JigJig street, so if you want it, you can't punch him or kill him in the main story). The reason this thing is busted is because it has a 15 sec cooldown, which is by far the lowest in the game.
Sandevistan cooldowns start after the active duration expires. With crafted cooldown reduction mods, you can get this down to 3 seconds. This means perma bullet time with Kerenzikov. Without crafting, the highest cooldown reduction mod you can get is uncommon (-2.5 seconds) for a total of 7.5 seconds cooldown.

Cyberdecks:
These allow you to use hacks. These are like spells in fantasy roleplaying games and Netrunners are basically techno mages.
Hacking can be used for utility (root enemies in place, blind them etc) or kill them outright. There are lethal and non lethal options if this is important to you for roleplaying reasons. If you invest in high intelligence (16 or more), hacking is absurdly broken and can wipe out entire floors of enemies non lethally in 1 button press.
Legendary quickhacks also have passive effects. Some of them are extremely busted like Short Circuit. This passive auto triggers its damage on crit and works for everything - fists, blades, bullets and other direct damage hacks. In many cases, unless you are min/maxing a fists/guns/blades, the shock proc will do significantly more damage than your weapons do.
Cyberdecks are good for all types of builds (run n' gun/melee/stealth/hacker mage) and allrounders (a combination of some or all of the aforementioned). They provide your character with a lot of useful options - the ability to see through walls, root enemies in place, stagger enemies repeatedly, one shot strong enemies (even ones that are massively above your level).
The best cyberdeck imo is Tetratronic Rippler MK4. The reason this thing is crazy is because it makes your hacks propagate really fast and make them highly spammable due to cooldown reduction. There is an argument to be made for Netwatch Netdriver MK5 but the increased jump distance is not that noticeable in practice.
Sandevistan would've been awesome, if it didn't have some glaring issues. Applying heavy attacks in melee immediately interrupts the slow time effect for some reason.
Millitech,, hands down the best you need to get,I can't work out which operating systems fit best with which types of builds.
