Do they all just deal the weapon's specified damage or do some have certain perks (companion-equivalent of Rifleman, Heavy Gunner, ..) that would make them excel with a certain weapon type? Or perhaps a preference towards melee or ranged weaponry?

Best Answer
They do have a preferred weapon.
However, you can command them to pick up a weapon and use that. With their default weapon, they won't run out of bullets, but you can't add mods to it. If you give them a different weapon, you have to give them the ammo. Once it runs out they will switch to their preferred weapon.
