personally, i don't find hardened fighters to be a usefull doctrine... it's quite expensive and all it really does is typically require your opponent to roll 4's on his/her to-hit rolls.
for the vets, i'd simply tool them out with a selection of meltas & flamers along with a mix of shotguns & pistol/ccw's and give the vet sergeant a power fist! you'll throw out a fair few attacks, plus you'll have upto 4 S6 armour save ignoring attacks as well!
above all, vets need to stay mobile because they are typically a high priority target for most opponents! (BS4 guardsmen with lots of special weapons are nasty!)
cheers!
