I'm about to choose between 3 different exotic weapons as quest reward.
For me it is very important which of them belongs to what slot, as that is highly dependable for my decision. But I can't figure out what the type of the weapon is from the quest reward dialog or item inspection.
Am I missing something? Or might there be a way to figure it out?
There is no "dance" button listed specifically in the key bindings. But the arrow keys are your "emotes" as seen in the bottom right of this image.
It should be the right arrow for dance, up to wave, left to point and down to sit.
Your Total Base Power (TBP) is based upon all of your highest Base Power Level equipment, this number will determine the Power Level of items dropped. Legendary (+5) Mods do not count toward your TBP. This will look for all of your highest Base Power Level gear throughout your vault, inventory, and equipped items, feel free to use any equipment you'd like! Furthermore, each slot may be filled with an exotic to count toward your TBP.
Your TBP will be the average sum of all the highest Base Power Level gear. (This number can also be found by logging into Destiny Item Manager.)
Subtract 5 from your TBP to get your Drop Power Level. (Ex: 280 Total Base Power = 275 Drop Power Level)
Drop Power Level Drop / Reward Type
+0 Rare Engrams, Legendary Engrams / Rewards
+3 Crucible Clan Reward
+5 Exotic Engrams
+8 Nightfall Clan Reward
+10 Personal XP Clan Reward
+13 Powerful Gear Milestone Reward
+18 Exotic Quest Reward
+?? Raid Reward
If your Drop Power Level is 275 and you complete a Powerful Gear Milestone you will receive a drop with a Base Power of 288.
These numbers may differ when you reach 285-300 TBP.

Kinetic weapons have their Power value in white, with no elemental symbol (red flame, blue spark, purple vortex) by the value.
Energy weapons and Power weapons both have elemental damage. Those are the symbols I mentioned above and correspond to Solar, Arc, and Void.
Exotics notwithstanding (though I believe only Fighting Lion breaks the mold by being a Grenade Launcher in your Energy Weapon slot),
Kinetic weapons and Energy weapons share the same weapon type. These are:
Power weapons are exclusively:
And as you have discovered, you can always press Q or LT, whichever your appropriate keybinding is, to preview the weapon compared to your current equipped weapon in that slot.
