This page says "Assassin is the only thief kit that works well in this dual."

With the assassin's thief skill penalties, he needs to invest more thief levels to get open locks and find traps to a useable levels unlike the other kits. And since the intention is dualing out to fighter, you won't get the assassin's backstab multiplier and reliable stealth ability.

Swashbuckler's combat bonuses are available always. Bounty Hunter's only need to invest in Set Traps. Assassins need both Hide in Shadows and Move Silently greater than 100 to stealth reliably.
