I favored the PR over the AR mostly because the PR was disposable and easy to replace. You could afford to waste shots on chickenshit Elites who love to hide and regenerate.

If you used anything on the Library other than the Pistol and the shotgun, you were doing it way wrong.

Agreed. Halo 1 had the most fun Flood combat. Popping and blasting made the Library enjoyable when I discovered pistol/shotty kills Flood dead on my second or third run through the game.

As others have said, it's easiest to melee infection forms and cause a chain reaction. And if you run out of shotgun shells, well, the pistol is still better than the AR vs regular Flood. You can drop them in one or two shots from a safe distance.
