Pretty much carbineer would best suit the SL, and its fun to roleplay with. Pistol is close behind though since it makes you look like acrazyofficer but since 10 outta the 12 specials are either broken or just plan crap, its not really fun to play.
Rifleman/SL is the last one of the ranged combat for the look but has the best damage. Any melee profession with SL isn't how it should be. A still believe that Squad Leader should be the one profession of them all that is most geared towards the GCW, to encourage the neutrals to actually pick up their blasters and fight for a cause. Remember that a lot are neutral since they are probably just waiting for when the Hutt Faction will eventually come into the game.

Mailek,
I agree with you that SL is best suited for ranged. But what do you think about standing on the front lines with your broadsword in hand, hacking your enemy to bits, screeming for them to from the line back up. Yeah today i was seriously thinking about droping Rifle for pikeman, i was going to give my self a bad ass tatoo on the face and stab my enemies in the crotch with my sharp weapons. I watched Aurther again last night, and i was at work all day long thinking about how best to start melee.
Will it be effective on the SWG battle field? Probably not. But it will be fun.

i have been MASTER SL with pistoleer and swordsman
i have HAD SL with master swords, tka, and fencer
I am currently SL/BH/Master Carbineer.
I find nor eason to take master SL right now..the onyl real bonus u get is another + 10 to defenses at master. with 3-0-3-4 you can max out GTN for non-scouts to move faster and provide +25 ranged/melee defenses. I gues si just dotn fidn the extra SP cost for the "bonuses" at master to be worth it.
I loved SL with pistoleer....and Swordsman was a VERY fun proff to play (even more so than pistoleer)
But i think Carbineer is the absolute funnest. There ar emobs ic ant take on as a carbineer (high end NS who arent low resist to energy being one) but i can handle almost anythig.
With Bh carbine ssupporting carbineer i have a very effective KD (fireKD) that ive even kd'd elders with, huge amounts of state attacks (full auto rocks)..and just overall it is very amusing. Ive solo'd groups as large as 12 NS rangers and outcasts with my current template. And that aint bad.
Plus with invest 3 i can take out missions on jedi, and then lead (as an SL) squads to go take them out. I fidn it highly enjoyable.

I noticed most people either pick carbineer or pistoleer to be their combat class to go with SL. Rifleman for damage, but which do you guys think is the most SL like combat class and in the game as it is right now which do you think is the most fun/complimenting.

Yeah im SL, Carbineer, and BH (for carbines) I think it is the roleplayer of SLs and is a cool profession for squad combat. Carbineer may have other broken aspects but most of the specials kick ass and the aoe kd is just sickly good. I always thinking about pistols but i cant bring myself to drop carbines.
