I do agree that Blood's weapons are overall better balanced than Duke's, however I think some of Blood's weapon can have the same affect as what you said with Duke's shrinker/rpg;
>see commander, use shrinker
>mini B-Lord, use RPG/Dev

>see Hellhound
>use Plasma gun
>Gargoyle
>Plasma or voodoo Doll

As for the aerosol, there is nothing it can do that others weapons can't.
Life Leech I barely use twice per entire playthrough. Usually I don't want to waste it for a turret, doesn't seem worh it, and it's main attack seems way too slow and not as powerful as it should be.
Its main pro is that if you have it, you can use it even if you run out of ammo and sacrifice HP; but usually it's given in maps where it's unlikely to run out of other ammo types, even on pistol start; and against Tchernobog.
The only time I really use it is pistol start E4M2.

As for Duke's freezethrower you under-estimate its main use: using it in doors, behind corners, and make the shots bounce so you can hit enemies while being safe out of sight.
Also for frozen enemies, a quick swap to the pistol to fire a single bullet seals the deal. I never use it to "immobalize" enemies.
