You can take a Commissar or someone else who can issue PREFECTUS ODRDERS for Forwards, for the Emperor! order which makes units be counted as Remained stationary even if they Advanced

Might as well give them Take Aim instead though, greater benefits and not just for the Heavy Weapon.

There are many good things to give 'em istead of FFTE. But the FFTE will also let you use 'Volley fire' stratagem which demands the unit to remain stationary to shoot again.

edit:
But the main advatage of FFTE is that you can shoot all weapons after Advance

Mobility is a key element of winning games a lot of the times

Very good points! 

 

I would also suggest the finial relic for infantry squads. No penalties for moving and shooting heavies. Also it's a good place for some D6 weapons to be what with the no damage reduction and the ability to wound beyond any special rules.
