I feel that's kinda how most merc themes are going now. Like Kingmakers = Damiano , Hammerstrike = Ossrum, Viva = Ashlyn (maybe Caine), Talleon = Shae, Irregulars = all the previous and the rest.

Totally agree, although I'm reserving judgment on Viva until it a) officially comes out and b) gastone comes out. Also, possibly needs a new topic, what is your thought on Talion? It feels like too little too late, but I have only recently put Shae on the table and have never played Fiona.

As it stands I am more interested in using Gastonne in Resistance, rather than Irregulars, because I think the army you are bringing synergizes with Gastonne better - and vice versa.
Free solos are awesome and all, but they aren't everything

More interested in Shae in Irregulars for additional free points and a combination of bonuses specific to marshaled freebooters under Shae. Talion possibly but I'm not sure why you would, essentially the same list is available in irregulars with more bonuses and additional units and solos.

Also MacBain might be interested in la resistance as countermeasures Trenchers are a really annoying cloud wall you can't even move into to shoot through.

There are also some menoth units like Bastions and Zealots which interact really nicely with his feat... Better countermeasure targets as well like Commandos/Trenchers/Flamebringers, and you get to bring most of Galleon's favorite support for free. It's definitely got me excited for Macbain in a way Irregulars didn't.

It's definitely got me excited for Macbain in a way Irregulars didn't. maybe, I'm unenthusiastic about galleon unless it has hotshot on it and rangers standing next to the target. MacBain has some good tools for it though - it's just nobody runs it like Bart.

This theme does give the option to stack choir on that which isn't far off for damage while fortune can help with accuracy in early rounds. Ragman+jackhammer makes his galleon far more dangerous in melee than bart's ever will be. Batten vs failsafe is probably a wash. Definitely not bart, but Bart isn't also dialing the out of faction frontline unit to 11 on the annoyance scale with feat/countermeasure
