I think I am leaning to Te/Fi just for the stances and the buffs that both mix well.

Imo, the most important skill for a character that use tech is pp charge revival from the force tree.
If you don't spam tech, non force character will be okay. Other wise, better keep the force class on at all time. So, Fo/Fi or Te/Fo.
Now if tech is just a side thing or utility, I would put Fi as primary class.
FO/FI.
Fire tree and stances = lolwtf levels of damage. One shotting most of Naberius TA and ALL of Lilipa TA (except Gils and Mizer) with fire is quite satisfying.
Also knuckle dash, because GOTTA GO FAST.
Fo/Fi for dps. I wouldn't suggest Te/Fi really simply because you're not really getting the "best" of anything there. Fo/Te over Te/Fo. Fo/Te can use better tech oriented armors, Rods are better for tech damage than wands, Fo can still use Te's skill tree for PP regen and it's been my personal observation that Fo charges techs faster than Te.
But Fo/Fi for dps, hands down. Not as sustainable as Fo/Te, but for burst damage, they're absolute monsters.
As has been said before, buffs are kinda meh. Not with the SP. Shifta 14 grants (iirc) about 10% extra damage and shifta adv is a 25% boost to the 10% resulting in about 13% damage. Deband is even worse since damage taken is mitigated with personal experience and a little finesse and it doesn't prevent you from being staggered.
I do it with Foie as well, and Rafoie if I take team buff.
Not on robots though, that needs Safoie. :l
Well I have 300k mesta to burn time to go safoi huntin!
Burn Dora cen be pretty stingy with that tech. Took 5 kills for me to even get one to drop.
FO/FI will never beat FO/TE at dps, but the burst damage (providing you get stance positioning right every time you cast) will be a lot higher.
Also, with the right tree and good equipment, you can 1-shot most VH enemies without /FI subclass or tree buffs anyway.
