"Skeletron is a pre-Hardmode boss. It must be defeated prior to entering the Dungeon, and defeating it grants unlimited access to all Dungeon areas for all players. It also causes the Clothier NPC to spawn, as long as a vacant house is available." – Official Terraria Wiki.
I tried to find out how well notable pre-Skeletron weapons perform against this boss. Queen Bee loot was included into the table below. I hope you will find useful information here.
To be short and precise, top 5 weapons:
1. Star Cannon : 32 seconds
2. 3 Vampire frogs + 1 Imp + Snapthorn (main) + Leather whip : 59 seconds
2. The Bee's Knees with Wooden arrows and Hive pack : 59 seconds (a tie)
4. 3 Imp + 1 Vampire Frog + Snapthorn (main) + Leather Whip : 1 minute 00 seconds
5. 3 Vampire Frogs + 1 Flinx + Snapthorn (main) + Leather Whip : 1 minute 02 seconds
For yoyo users, you may use a block wall above to lure skulls into it.

Space gun and yoyo loadouts:
Godmode is an ideal result. Player movement was the same as normal fight. Then godmode was turned off to see the impact of a not ideal skill (retreating, sligthtly more missed shots, more distance, etc). Godmode was never used with magic, due to infinite mana. (no mana potions -> no sickness -> more DPS). Summoner used a whipstacking technique, rapidly changing whips in order to use the effects of each.
Average of 3 tries, rounded (tried to be more precise). Timer started with the first hit.

Sidearms:
Weather Pain is effective at hand killing with Space Gun, Diamond Staff and Grey Zapinator
Houndius Shootius may help against spinning head, it is recommended to summon it when hands are down. Unlike Ballistas it misses much more rarely.
