Rocketeer is a meme and you should not use it. That leaves: Green Monster/Sapper/Bloodletter: Bullet Hose Moze build.
Mindsweeper/Blast Master: Explosive splash damage build.
Bear Trooper/Raging Bear: IB build.

I've played Bullet Hose with both Green Monster and Bloodletter, and honestly, both are equally good with something like a dual chaingun Shredifier. Green Monster excels a bit more when there are armored enemies. Sapper offers a bit more survivability. If you want this build, your skill tree should be like this: https://bl3skills.com/gunner#500314155110100000000000000155301133510
If using Sapper, don't spec into Desperate Measures. Key items include: The Pearl of Ineffable Knowledge (quite broken atm, get it from the Hammerlock DLC). Transformer shield, and a shock Lob (but any shock weapon with splash damage will do, including Tediore reloads). Just shoot at your feet to regain your shields. If you don't have the DLC, use the deathless relic. For Grenade, I'm quite fond of the Piss grenade, which increases damage dealt to enemies hit by it by 20%.

As for Mindsweeper/Blast Master, your tree should look like this: https://bl3skills.com/gunner#500314155110153030531501010100000000000
Use Vanquisher Rocket Pods without augments, it does quite some damage. In this case you'll want guns with splash damage listed on the card. I'm quite fond of the Faisor shotgun mode and the Westergun. For healing, you can use an epicenter grenade. Shield and relic is up to you.

I never tried an IB build so I can't give an opinion on those.
Forgot to say, if you are using Sapper COM you can spec into the Red tree capstone.

deathless bloodletter transformer (desperate measures tree, i forget the name), mindsweeper splosions (best with a good alchemist gun) or bottomless mags green machine/blastmaster i dont know optimal trees but im sure a quick youtube search would throw up some optimised ones

something i feel a lot of people overlook is vampyr; its a lot of healing with nades like hunter seekers and you can continuously throw them whilst firing most weapons as long as you arent scoped
