If you can control the recoil the Devotion can rip people apart, especially early game. Personally, I would rather go with the Havok with a turbo charger over the Devotion.
As far as the Prowler goes, I love it with the hop up. Comparable to a R-99 in my opinion. Without the hop up, I wouldn't bother with it, I would rather go for the Hemlok. Less recoil and easier to control, but the prowler is still decent early game without a hop up.

I only use them if I get the hop up first (TC, SF), then found the gun with a lot of ammo from death box and my guns are sucks.
Otherwise, I skip.

If the opportunity presents itself I'll take a Prowler (over an R99) to reduce competition with my squadmates for light mags & barrel attachments.
The select fire hop-up usually isn't a problem to find, as it's only realistically of use to other Prowler users.
The Devotion I find to be a dead-end gun; it's effective early game even without the hop-up.
However:
- the hop-up turns up too infrequently to be relied upon
- energy weapons are generally unfavoured by the meta, making ammo harder to come by in the late game.
- smaller ammo stack size further compounds the ammo shortage, and eats into inventory space that's better spent on grenades or shield cells.
- When used outside of its intended short/medium range, it doesn't perform as well as similar profile weapons (aka Spitfire)
- The Devotion's muzzle flash is obnoxiously large (I consider removing muzzle flash as cheating, so don't do it).
tldr;
The prowler starts out good, and remains so throughout.
The devotion is ok early game, but becomes a liability later on.

I like the prowler even with out the select fire.
