In my personal opinion the starter sub-classes (gunslinger, void walker, and striker) are all out matched in PVP by their later sub-classes and definitely by the newest ones.
What's your take?

Well, I see Sunbreaker as a long range equal to GunSlinger. Would I prefer Defender or Nightstalker in a fireteam? Depends, really; one is more defensive (ha!) and the other more offensive, both create insane amounts of orbs. Personal preference, I suppose, like most things in Destiny. And SS is definitely still valuable on its own with revive. Still torn on Stormcaller.... Haven't played it but it feels like it's a bit underwhelming. I'd say within a Class, there is still plenty of usefulness, especially if you prefer to run as a Titan, for example. But in a fireteam of 3+? Then... It gets tricky :)
