1. The commando.
How can we fix these? They are meant to be suppressors but they don't really work for that.
The most used are the galmando with an AR and PC and the minmando with double swarms or CR and MD.
Sometimes I see pro calmandos with snipers and rails.
So how can we balance them all? In my opinion, they are bad. They are to squishy and die very quickly. Assaults are kinda better in every way. It's hp is somewhat high, but when I use them, it feels like I'm running a logi with base stats.
How about improving their rep/regen? If they are suppressors, they should be able to take lots of damage, and regen quickly to take more. They also need to switch their bonus with assaults so that they can actually suppress. Everything else is acceptable.

The way you fix the Commando is to let go of the silly notion that they're supposed to be "Suppression" even though really none of their bonuses lend themselves to filling a suppression role.
What they do do well however is:
- Carry AP & AV Weapons at the Same Time - Makes them great at AV without being weak against infantry
- Reload Bonus - AV Weapons have small magazines and fairly long reloads; the reload bonus helps to counteract this, boosting Sustained DPS greatly, which is very important in fighting vehicles.
- Damage Bonus - Further enhances damage making them even better at killing infantry and vehicles
Pretty much everything about them makes them the ideal Light AV dropsuit, and the faster people can accept that and drop the whole "Suppression" nonsense the better. I don't care what the flavor text says, it's simply incorrect.
Additionally the reason why the Gallente and Minmatar Commando are favored is because not only do they have a more robust arsenal that makes them effective in a useful array of situations, but also because we have and Explosive and Blaster AV weapon that they can each take advantage of.
So in order to make the Amarr and Caldari Commandos more widely used, you need more weapon options in general, and more AV options for Rail and Laser. Bring in some sort of AV Laser weapon and some sort of AV Rail weapon and I guarantee you'll see more Amarr and Caldari Commando use.
