Switching weapons helps because you can only get so much rep per weapon per baddie, I think its like 100 or so, this normally won't be reached with a normal bad guy but with a boss is possible, so after you hit that 100 rep you are no longer doing yourself any good. If you switch weapons you can get 300 rep from the same guy.If you use your highest damage weapon or attacks you decrease the rep because you kill them faster and don't get in as many hits, weapon rep is based off the # of attacks....silly maybe but thats how it works
Its also good like you described to pull a baddie without getting yourself into a gang fight. You will get rep for both weapons and live to fight another day....always a good thing.
