I want to like use the fusion blaster as the gun but everybody states that they want the burst cannon. what do people think? I think taking advantage of ballistic skill 4 and using a fusion blaster works good.

1 fusion blaster shot, that will hit 50% of the time for random damage.. it has its purpose, but no more 1 shot kills (in general a good move) make it expensive for return. And muddies up it's 2ndary weapons in the gun drones, 4 shots each of s5 ap- 1d. so giving it a burst cannon gives it 12 s5 ap- 1d shots at bs 4+ all assault (i know fusion is too), so it fulfills 1 roll more completely, and cheaper.

I'd just go with the dakka option. It saves you some points, and there isn't really much purpose to put fusion on anything other than a Commander at this point. It's just so much more efficient than any other option.

They're fragile, so keeping them cheap is good. I'd probably lean toward the Dakka version.
