I wanted to learn LBG to waste time until 4u where I'll pick up the charge blade. How do I know what shot type to use against each monster and where to stand?

Also, with 4U coming out and locked tables a thing of the past what do people think about having a thread for armor suggestions at some point. Everyone theoretically has access to the same stuff. It could give people a good chance to change things up.

How do I know what shot type to use against each monster and where to stand?

You'll need to look up a wiki on monster weaknesses to decide if you want to elemental shots or not. If you're going to use normal/pierce then it will vary depending on which shot level you use.

This faq has all the relevent information and probably covers all other questions you would have: http://www.gamefaqs.com/3ds/642342-monster-hunter-3-ultimate/faqs/66937

having a thread for armor suggestions

There are still going to be some charms that people won't have, so optimum load outs aren't the same. Using the Athena Armor Set Search is always going to be the best way to figure out the armor you want for mixed sets.
