I have Red Death and TLW and both are apparently amazing against Thron users. However they are totally separate ranges. I don't wanna spend the whole game switching primaries so which one do you think stands the best chance overall? If so, what perks?

It really depends on what situations you put yourself in. The Last Word is without a doubt the single best close range weapon in the Crucible, however it does fall off at longer ranges. Red Death is an excellent medium ranged weapon but really lacks in the close quarters situations that are so frequent in the maps currently in rotation. You can put yourself in situations where Red Death will be great and will smash Thorn and TLW users easily, or you can put yourself in close situations that will destroy a Thorn or TLW. Thorn is in between close and long range, but I find it is at a distinct disadvantage towards either end of the spectrum. Combat whichever primary you choose with a secondary that will be of use in the opposite of your normal situations
