Quick question for the group here.

If i'm deep striking a unit of 2 suits with 3 CIBs, 1 drone controller sarge with only 2 CIBs, and their accompanying drones, would it be worthwhile to break up the drones between gun and marker (to get those re-roll 1's on the overcharge) or should I keep them all gun?

That depends. Are you going to get markerlight from elsewhere? Generally, having at least a few marker drones dropping in with suits is a great way to protect them and make sure you get at least one hit.

Well, i've gone 2 units of 7 units of 7 pathfinders sitting in my backfield. (though 2 in each squad have ion rifles instead of markerlights). So I might have it covered, but they also might not have LoS to nail the target. So I guess this really is a question of redundancy.
