I think it depends on what kind of weapon you end up with. If you happen to find a really rare and nice gun. Then you should be long range. If you find a nice sword, then be meele.

So based on that fact melee wins currently then as it has the best weapon possible

A lot of opinions are being thrown around.
One in particular I want to reply to is the person who said that if you are a builder and of course you pump points into strength for building that will have high vigor and will be able to hit back.
I'd like to tell you that you are WRONG.
You need aim, still. You may think aim is only for fire-arm duelers, well you are wrong again.
Without aim, you will hardly hit much.
But you're forgetting that there are MORE clothing items, shoes etc that give bonus points to shooting.
I will give you one reason why melee is better.
I prefer appearance. A pure appearance dueler can switch to either firearm or melee weapons. But of course, there are trade-offs to that.
To be a good (or at least a decent pure appearance dueler), the player has to have at least the items needed to boost his preferred weapons. If the player decides to use a firearm, he should use items that boost his shooting. If the player decides to use a melee weapon, he should use items that boost his vigor. Either way, a pure appearance dueler is flexible, making him adjust his weapon and items of choice depending on the target.
Only problem is, there aren't enough good items to boost either vigor or shooting early on in the game, which is a big bugger. Quite difficult, I presume (and as far as I have experienced) to begin the World with this type of strategy.
But I'm hanging on to being a pure appearance dueler. I want to see how things will turn-out later on in the game.
And what if you're attacked? Your appearance doesn't help you at that time...
I prefer aiming and vigor/shooting, and some skillpoints in tactics, comes in handy as soldier
