I've just been running a Solo Gadgie, lot of fun but real tough.
I think your idea of a 2 char party with a Gadgie is a good one, and should be fun.
After trying just about every race I used a Lizzard for the starting Str and Dex, but resistances are low and very weak when attacked with magic. Hobbits are viable, and surprisingly I also found Fairie quite good if you bolster up the Vit at start-up.
Personally I find the Omnigun a complete waste of time and prefer to use either Bloodlust or Staff of Doom, both cursed, but I don't find the loss of ranged attack much of a loss.
Gadgies are pretty weak till late in the game when you get the good gadgets so you will need to focus on either a good melee or ranged attack, and the melee attack is MUCH stronger, and the gadgets themselves form your ranged attack anyway.
I found the essence of a good gadgie was to build up a mini-fighter. You will need a TON of Stamina, those gadgets use tremendous amounts of Stamina, plus carrying them around. You will find that you end up using a LOT of Stamina potions. In a multi char party you can have someone cast Stamina but in small parties thats just not viable.
Later in the game you will get the Negatair gadget and it is truly awesome, even works on some non air-breathers like Androids and Crabs and Insects.
I think the key to your game will be the choice of the second char.
