You'll have a synergy if you use the AR with either the Gallente Commando or Assault suits, as it counts as a Hybrid-Plasma (As opposed to Hybrid Rail).
Caldari and to a lesser extend Minnie Sentinels will also have a resistance against you.

Also if you're this new, be VERY aware that the assault rifle is the shortest ranged of all the "rifles" but with the most damage output. Pick your engagements accordingly. next in range is Combat rifle, then Scrambler, Then Rail.

Here's the deal.
Basic suits are only worth using until you specialize into a specialty suit, of which there are two below:
Commando: These carry two light weapon slots. They do not have a grenade slot. They have bonuses for specific types of weapons and as such you should build your suit accordingly. They can soak a decent amount of damage but can't move as fast as most suits. The role is essentially if you like a specific type of weapon and want to do much more damage then normal with said suit.
Sentinel: These carry a heavy weapon slot and a sidearm slot. They do not have an equipment slot. They are the slowest of the suits, and the high HP is partially negated by your inability to dodge most shots. In the open they die rather easily, and take a while to get to new places. The whole point of a Sentinel is for the damage absorption bonuses which allow you to take a great deal of abuse. Your sensors will make you blind to anything not a heavy, but your heavy weapon slots allows you to make use of HMGs and Forge Guns.
You could put a light weapon on a Sentinel, but I don't really recommend it as light weapons are much more deadly on faster suits who can easily take cover and find good firing spots, or on commandos who have a large damage bonus and better speed then Sentinels.
In a nutshell: Commando is the ONLY suit in the game with TWO light weapon slots, Sentinels are the only suits (besides basic heavies) who can carry a HEAVY weapon slot, and have the highest HP due to the resistance bonuses.
