Personally I use the Sirus as I haven't got the Eridani yet, but I think both of them can be used in their own ways.

The Sirus is good for Infiltrator as it has a large magazine size and you are usually in close range when using SMG as a Infiltrator. Since there is no extended magazine size attachment, the recommended option is an Adv. Laser Sight, but when I first started I went with a Foward grip by mistake but it doesn't hinder you, more so it decreases the recoil.

I feel the Eridani would be more fitted to the Heavy Assault as it has the capablity to take a unit out very quickly. Personally though I'd only use it on my AV Heavy as the LMGs are far more ideal for a Heavy focusing on infantry, not saying you can't use an SMG for AI, but I prefer the LMG. The SMG as AV heavy will be useful because it has faster weapon switch(?) than a LMG and when you are targeting vehicles you may come across an Infantry already equiped with a SMG, LMG, AR or Carbine. If you don't have any ammo in your Launcher you'd need to switch to either your main or secondary, where the SMG is ideal. and due to the Eridani's fast TTK, it would be more use than the Sirus. Equiping either a Adv. Laser sight or Ext. Ammo would suit the Eridani, depending either if you feel like you miss your shots and need more bullets to be able to hit or a tighter CoF for better accuracy.

All in all, the main difference between them both is Magazine size, and TTK. Go for the Eridani if you want to eliminate your enemies quickly, Go for the Sirus if you want more ammo to keep you from a reload that could end in your death.

Eridani: For killing one (or two) targets, then instantly and quickly reloading.

Sirus: Mow down 3 or 4 targets, take cover then reload in a slower, yet still quicker than a carbine, reload speed.
