Best Backburner loadout?

Yep, and screw the Deaxtinguisher elitists.

Detonator and powejack, best for getting behind enemy lines

First of all, Backburner is only useful on maps where you can flank, keep that in mind. I usually use stock Shotgun since overall it's a reliable secondary regardless of what flamethrower you're using. Detonator or even Scorch Shot are useful for their flare jump to reach advantageous spots. For the melee slot the Back Scratcher is an ideal choice as you'll probably be making use of medkits behind enemy lines. You could also go with Powerjack for futher increased mobility.

Detonator yes, Powerjack no.

Flare-Jumping is a great way to attack from unexpected directions; but Powerjack significantly lowers your effective health, and being able to move ever so slightly faster with it out isn't worth much.

Pair it with Backscratcher so you can keep health tip-top from medikits whilst sneaking around; helps you survive projectiles that you could otherwise have compression blasted instead.

BTW, which is better? Detonator or Scorch jump?

Shotgun, Powerjack

I have a lot of fun with the Postal Pummeler and normal Flare Gun, but hey. While I can respect the Detonator's added mobility, I've found I'm much more effective, personally, with the vanilla flare gun. The melee is highly variable - depends on maps and how you like to play. My everyday use loadout is as described above + awesome hats ^_~

Detonator, because you get more force from a flare jump and can actually do damage when needed

Detonator jump gets you higher at the cost of more health. It's more useful though.

I like using the Detonator to get to unusual areas and the Backscratcher so I don't have to rely on Medics.

Don't use the Backburner if I were to be honest, especially if it's your go-to loadout..
