Well, I had two reasons for Maws. The first and most 'important', I got more XP for fighting on foot. ;) Second reason was that outside of the Mako, even with the strafing around it, the Maw doesn't go back underground. As long as I don't get close enough for it to use it's melee lunge, it just stays up in one spot occasionally spitting acid at a location I've already left. Granted sometimes one of the squaddies isn't so fleet of foot *cough Garrus cough* and falls over from an acid hit but Maws quickly became routine. And once I got Specter X weapons/mods on everyone, it didn't even last long.
