Which Edition Has The Best Build Variety? Options

[Asshimar]

Hey all, long-time reader, first-time poster here.
Recently I've gotten involved in a few Shadowrun LC's- and then very rapidly gotten uninvolved with them, if you catch my meaning. Super cheesy rulings in favor of mod characters, 1000+ karma differences on runs, Prime characters crashing milk runs, GM favoritism, etc. The usual stuff you get in publicly-listed games, right? But there is one issue I've run into, consistently, that has really stood out to me. 5e's (they're always 5e) chargen is so tight and the "best" options are so blindingly obvious that every single 5e character I run across in these is one of:

-Full Cyberlimb Soak Sammy
-Psych-Addict Self-Buff Übermage
-Perfect Time/I Am The Firewall Decker
-Social Infiltrator With Sleeping Tiger/That One Jumpsuit + Electrochrome
-Burnout Adept with exactly 1.00 point of essence in 'ware

With only minor cosmetic differences between them. So, I arrive at the question: Is there a Shadowrun edition which runs counter to this trend? One where not only are there a variety of niches to specialize in, but a number of ways to become competent in those roles?
