Which Munitions powers should I pick for AR/EM?

Surveillance is a great power.
What's not to love about a ranged, non-agro Defense and Resist debuff?
@Oathbound & @Oathbound Too
Surveillance is pretty much the only thing that would compel me to take //Munitions other than pure concept. It's a very nice little power. The only serious reason to take Cryo Freeze Ray over it would be that /EM has nothing to hold/immobilize foes with to maximize Ignite. Ignite is no longer as cheaty-awesome now that they pumped up the recharge, but if you still want to do horrible, horrible things with napalm, CFR is your best choice (especially if you take Power Boost to go along with it).
Rule number six of an empathy defender is NEVER underestimate a blaster's ability to die. I don't care if he has CM, Fort, both RAs, bubbles (both FF and Sonic), and is fighting next to a Storm defender with hurricane on. If there is a way to die in that situation, the blaster will find it.
Hate to say it as I really love the power, but LRM is redundant with your build.
You have full Auto which does more damage and more often than LRM and without the interupt, toss in boost range just why did you want LRM again ?
Yeah it is cool to watch, but its not really practical.
Cryo freeze ray gives you a nice hold its really useful but depending on your build could probably use some serious acc and rech.
Surveilance excellent and fun. Ignite+Surveilance FTW.
I don't think CFR is that useful if you don't have something in your main sets to stack it with. If your choices are that and surveillance, I would take surveillance.
@Dysc, on virtue:
Virtue blues: Overnight (DP/MM), Kid Ridiculous (FC/rad), Panorama (Ill/time)
Virtue reds: Block Party (SS/SD), Goldcrush (earth/fire), Deadwire (claws/elec), Snowcrush (ice/kin)
Ok, and I also didnt take PB or Ignite, since most told me Ignite was meh. So, I guess its Body Armor+Surveilliance+LRM 
I went electric mastery on my AR/EM, because I already did Munitions on my AR/Dev. I agree with Another Fan that LRM is not needed on your build. I'd seriously reconsider taking PB, Ignite and Cryo Freeze Ray.
Oh well, I guess we all shouldn't have the same builds. Do whatever's fun for you.

I am sorry for the stupid question, but when I look at the munitions mastery set your options are Body Armor, Cryo Freeze Ray, Sleep Grenade and LRM Rocket. Unless I am looking at an old list, but I don't see Surveillance. I am thinking about munitions for my Archer/Dev blaster.

You're looking at an old list. Surveillance was added to the set back in I13. Paragon wiki is a good resource for this thing (if you did check the wiki, then you're using an old link).|
