Originally, I was Master Smuggler/MBH/Novice Carbineer. That let me wear all the armor and have lots of content.
Today, I just respected to Master Smuggler/Master Carbineer/Master Marksman. I think this is a much sweeter template, even though I lose the ability to hunt jedi and wear assault armor.
What do you guys think? I won't have much time to test this Carbineer template, so I figured I'd hit the boards for some advice.

Its a nice one. I've tried it out myself. Its just light on the pistols, which I prefer to use, myself. I'm running the template Master Smuggler/Pistoleer + 4040 Carbineer, currently. I get to wear Recon and Battle Armor with near to full mitigation on the Battle Armor, get my pistols as primary weapons, and Carbines as a nice secondary weapon with a bit more range. Others that work well are Master Smuggler/Pistoleer/Marksman, Smuggler/Commando/Marksman... well, lets just say that Smuggler blends well with many templates.

I have one alt who stays a Carbineer and my main stays a Smuggler. 
My Carbineer is now MBH, Master Carb, 4000 CM. My smuggler is now MCM, Master Smuggler, 4000 Pistol.
I think that MBH with Smuggler would be a better choice over carbineer for the fact that as a smuggler we have Reckless shot ( albeit it is a -defense move ) but it is a hard hard hitter. Carbineer and BH, I believe, both have ranged KD's and that is what I would believe would ultimately compliment a Smuggler.
I see why they took the KD from Low Blow because a ranged KD and a root is a bad combo against melee

I'm pretty happy with Master Smuggler, Master BH and Novice Carb. Master BH has Adv. Critshot, which is a heavy-hitter with an increased chance for criticals. Novice Carbinier has a similarly high-damage Legshot, that doesn't have the defensive penalties of Reckless, so I juggle those. They work nicely when included with our root and debuff shots. I've got badness I can fling for nearly any situation, and I'm pretty decent with a pistol or carbine.
I'm mainly stuck to BH because of all the money I've invested in Assault faction armor, though. No turning back now.
