Just, get grenade.

Well, isn't Grenade not only useless in 3rd and 4th, but also 2nd? =P.
I'd say they're equally useless.
The only use I can see for Grenade is luring monsters, which is rather inefficient, as it would be much easier to recoil over.

Grenade is useful for luring, but the thing about it is that it will convey more damage in a shorter time, and can be fired while walking over to the monsters. So, it lures them to you, at no cost to your own movement speed, WHILE causing a burn with a very good damage formula.

I don't know enough about the damage, so I won't argue with you on that point, but it's a huge overstatement to say that it doesn't cost any moving time.
Any time you spend jumping around holding down the Grenade button is time that you aren't recoiling. Even if Grenade has a larger range than any other attack, I'm pretty sure you'd be better served by recoiling over, mounting ship, and firing <x> attack.
