I start with SoaG(2), DG, then either TaN or IM. However, yesterday I tried something different: SoaG(3)->DG->Fin and it seemed to work much better. I got too immersed in a fight and forgot that reloading two guns can be really slow. I started reloading at 34% health, and two acid blasts from a Hell Knight later found my health in negative numbers :)
Still, this game felt much better than my previous attempts, so I'll continue to go the speed shooter way.

Yes, SoaG(3)->DG is better than SoaG(2)-DG->SoaG(3) and taking finesse after first level of DG is better than taking additional levels of DG.
EDIT: Also, SoaG(3) is better than SoaG(2)->DG
As reloading two guns really takes time, try to look for places where you can take cover while reloading. You can also reload just your primary gun by doing a normal reload, which will take less time. If the situation is really desperate and you think you can kill your enemies with a single gun, this can be a life saver.
A point or two in reloader later in the game should be considered, but defensive traits take priority before that.

Also consider that with SoaG (3) and F shooting with 1 gun will take much less time then with 2 guns. And reloading 1 gun takes less time.
Styro:
I always do SoG->SoG->DG->SoG->DG.
I figure that even though it is slower with Dual Gunner, I get to shoot 12 bullets instead of just 6 at an enemy before I have to reload. This will kill most enemies so I can reload in peace instead of reloading while under fire with 1 pistol. YMMV.

This would make sense, but shooting, reloading and shooting with one gun and SoaG(3) does more damage in the same amount of time than shooting 12 bullets with SoaG2)+DG. You can find the calculations at the AoMr discussion topic. So SoaG(3) is better in any possible scenario than SoaG(2)+DG. Though I don't know if it applies with latest beta, as the advanced pistol now doesn't have any dmg difference in the beginning.
Also, Finesse is better than additional levels in DG because of the point where Dualgunner's negative bonus is applied.
