I don't really see why you'd want to upgrade their basic infantry. Usually there are tier 2 or 3 upgrades that let you squeeze a little more useful lifespan out of your tier 1 units for a small cost, but the upkeep cost on the extra 6 population is huge. Another part of the upgrade cost is that reinforcing becomes cheaper, implying that you're encouraged to keep those tier 1 squads around instead of just letting them die off and be replaced.

Totally unupgraded GMs are literally the worst unit in the game. With the sergeant they have decent dps and they're by far the most cost efficient to reinforce on a req per HP basis. With commie and sarge it's ridiculous. But they do drop very quickly - if you want to use them as an actual fighting force past T1 you need a chimera to autoreinforce them on the field, at which point they outshoot anything for cost assuming they aren't dying so fast they don't get a chance to shoot (or suppressed or in melee of course).
