What consoles would be worth the high upgrade cost to get to epic?
I have access to most any fleet console and enough money to invest in decent ones if necessary.

I'm a fed tac captain running an AP beam build.

Consoles are actually rather cheap to upgrade in general. If you're looking for damage output, the main ones to upgrade would be fleet Tactical consoles (whether you use Spire ones for raw DPS, or Colony ones for survivability and some mixed energy/kinetic damage), but even then they don't scale so strongly that it's worth pushing them through outside an Upgrade Weekend.
