I stick with the most silenced weapons, since even gunshots appear to attract infected in most cases.

Sidearms
M1911 Pistol (L4D)

Tier 1
Pump Shotgun (L4D & L4D2)
Silenced Submachine Gun (L4D2) - I went through an entire campaign with this weapon once, as not to attract those nasty infected!

Tier 2
Combat Shotgun (L4D2)

Grenades
Pipe Bomb

Melee
Baseball Bat (L4D2)
Guitar (L4D2)

I'm a mean sonofabitch with melée weapons. The chainsaw is hardly a good melée weapon, leave it for the noobs.

Oh yeah I forgot to say, use this:  

Tier 1: Chrome Shotgun
Tier 2: Ak-47
Sidearm: Magnum, Crowbar
Grenade: Bile Bomb

I love the sastifaction with the chrome shotguns, seeing blood go everywhere and a huge gapping hole in the zombies is awesome. The Ak-47 is just perfect for clearing out hordes and killing tanks, and it looks awesome too. With magnums it's just fun to see the results when you shoot a zombie and crowbars are awesome when you hit a chunk of a zombie's head off. Bile bombs are the coolest looking, and are perfect for slowing down tanks for your friends to hit.

T1: Silenced Submachine Gun
T2: Combat Rifle is the one that holds 60 bullets right?
Sidearm: Axe or sword.
Grenade: Molitov.

T1 because it doesn't completely suck at long range and tends to drop crowds as good as a melee weapon.
T2 because it's accurate and powerful. I haven't ran into a problem with it, especially with the laser sight. I tend to get a lot less friendly fire with this aswell.
Sidearm because any melee weapon will do, but these two are my favorites. No reloading. No ammo. Takes out crowds and those uncool zombies that stand by themselves with no friends and whatnot.
Grenade because I personally like how it'll kill anything that doesn't have a bajillion health. It also helps you find things that don't die really fast because they'll be jumping/running around on fire.

Tier 1: Shotgun
Tier 2: Automatic Shotgun
Sidearm: Pistol
Grenade: Molotov

Never played L4D2.

I don't see what would be the reason to only use melee weapons.
Unless you just suck at aiming.

Melee weapon + Mode Normal or higher + Horde = Butt rape, no lube

By butt rape do you mean the zombies dying or yourself?

If you mean yourself... then you should say expert or higher.

You dieing. When it's only yourself, and it's an entire horde, you either die or get around red - yellow health depending on your weapon.
