Fire and explosives work really well, and crossbow bolts do a heap of damage
Electricity and ice will stop them for a moment, but fire will damage them and stall them for longer while they wave their arms around

For a bouncer:
Set heaps of trap bolts from the crossbow in a line so that he will walk through them all when running at you, then find something to get behind that he can't get into. Basically, if you stay out of his reach, then just pummel him with armour piercing rounds and explosives, he will go down pretty quick

For a rosie:
Pretty much the same as a bouncer, only this time find some cover and get behind it, then use telekinesis to throw his mines right back in his face. They are slightly weaker than bouncers, but their rivet guns thump you pretty hard

Go for the ones with little sisters that way you can either harvest or save the little sister and you wont have to wait around for another big daddy to get the little sister out

Grenade launcher and armour piercing bullets.

zrasmusson answered:

Killing ones without little sisters still have rewards, even more so if you reach the highest research level, but instead if trap bolts, a group of 4-6 of the proximity mines also work well on the bouncers, then get there attention and they more than likely die running over it.
