It's best to have a healthy mix of each. Just like a fire team or rifle squad.

A 1940's rifle squad contained roughly 10 men. The squad leader and Assistant Squad leader who carried M1s. A BAR gunner and Assistant BAR Gunner. Two scouts and four riflemen. A German Rifle squad was based formed around a Light Machine Gun. the MG 34 and later MG 43. the US M60 was based on the MG 34. Today the fire team is based around a M249 Squad Automatic Weapon and only 4 guys per team. Two teams per squad.

so for a huxley squad, maybe two chainguns with a team of 3 or 4 Assault rifle soldiers with the chain gunner. Each has its advantages and disadvantages. Throw in a Grenade Launcher and maybe someone with a shotgun and attach a sniper team to the squad and you are good to go.
