I maxed Gaviota and I can say that it's not very useful. Sure, I use it with my Octopus + Gaviota macro or Air Strike + Gaviota macro. However, outside of that I barely use it. The difference between level 15 and 30 in terms of damage is barely noticeable. If I recall correctly, I did about 5k with level 15 and 7k with level 30.
The reason I maxed it was because I don't intend on wasting USE space for capsules for Flamethrower/Ice Splitter because I want to use Ciders while training. I also think that the slots used by the Capsules are better spent for regular bullets because they're used much more often. Basically, I maxed Gaviota because that's a skill I'll at least use sometimes, whereas Flamethrower wouldn't have been on my keyboard whether I maxed it or not. Plus, Battleship Torpedo is significantly stronger and I've managed to keep my ship alive for quite some time at level 120, where it only has 4k hp. Thus, I don't think I'll be in many situations where I'd require Flamethrower over Torpedo.
If I were to remake my Pirate, I probably would max Flamethrower over Gaviota just to have a bit more training/mobbing options. Either way, I don't intend on maxing Hypnotize in 4th job so I'll just max Flamethrower with Hypnotize SP.
Winry (<3) basically covered everything else I wanted to say.
