ok I ran some calcs
vs Tauros, it gets a clean 2HKO, Lap usually doesn't. Lap usually requires an extra Slam to be in HB range, so it would even out, except taking more hits means more chance for hax (also Cuno has a better crit rate fwiw). edit: actually I went and double-checked and based purely on damage rolls, Cuno normally isn't KO'd by 2 Slams+HB. Very prone to damage rolls though, and I haven't considered crits or anything there.
vs Lax it's a bit more in Lap's favour as it usually 3HKOs (78%), but on the flipside Lax is a bit stronger, enough that Lap on average only takes 2 Slams to be in HB range. It's heavily roll-dependent though. Cuno has those same rates, but without the potential for rolls edit: I was wrong on Cuno getting KO'd, it's actually dependent on damage rolls, but the odds are heavily in Lax's favour
I don't tend to play Cuno defensively so I rarely have it switching into normals. I agree that Lap's better bulk makes it a preferable switch-in there, but I disagree with you on Lax, paraslam+fp is 0.3*0.25=0.075, which really isn't that high.
Maybe I should try playing Lap as a sweeper some time lol
