Gold weapons are better but they all cost stars and you need to be most wanted league or a member of one of the top gangs to get them. If you can manage it then go for gold. If you can't then buy silver ones. They are good too (though a little less damage) and they all cost coins.

Also, if you are past level 25 I'll advice you not to get the consecrator and the ripper unless your goal is to collect all of them as they really don't do much damage. Get Flak Canon first.
