I think it is a good idea to give the gadgeteer a sword/shield switch from the omni gun.
This is especially true if u plan expert and/or if u play in smaller parties.
The reason being that in expert mode in say a 4-person party...a gadgie get plummeted in melee without a sheild. In 6 or 8 person party u can stick the gadgie in the middle and he'll be safe...but in a 3-4 man party everyone will get hit...hence a shield is invaluable.
Another reason being that the gadgie doesn't have that many skills to develop, ranged combat, modern weapon, engineering and eagle eye and reflextion. So if u run out of places to dump skill points, instead of pumping mythology or artifacts...pump shield instead for extra protection.
Lastly, Gadgeteer if played right is really versatile. Imagine a gadgie with mk12 omigun from range, a light sword and a light shield for switch...and a full arsenal of gadgets. U have a fighter/ranger/caster all roll into one.
