i've done both pistols/fu and smg/fu. pistols have an advantage of generally rolling higher etc. however, as far as move that cause states and moves that require states smg/fu is a much better load. at higher level some of the smg moves cause dazed 100% of the time........which can give you nice combos given that many fu moves require dazed. also the fact that smg is usually supported most by burst tactic (blue - which again causes dazed) where pistols is supported by retaliate tactics (green - causes off balance which isn't much benefit on the fu side).
Basically, the pistol tree is generally better than smg compared 1 to 1. however if you're simply looking for something as a "support" tree for fu to give you some good combo's........smg is the best gun tree to couple with fu.
