I've been using Challenger/Utilitarian/Medicant on my Strider pawn to mostly satisfactory effect, although I've started regretting not training her (by example) to use leaping stone -> skull splitter. She's good at what I've gotten her to do - mostly rain arrows via Downpour Volley, and more recently, Fracture Dart - but she rarely takes the initiative to melee when she happens to get into melee range. Which is a shame, because she has a nice pair of daggers (I give her the best gear, as obviously I can compensate by using human intelligence-backed skill).

I've been mulling on putting Scather in the mix, although apparently that doesn't mean she'll melee more often - rather she'll just target stronger monsters, instead of the ranged/casters via her existing Challenger primary (which I'm fine with), I just want her to use the daggers if she's close enough.
