Reasonable call. I'd also suggest some of the more obscure Lunar sects, such as Teelo Noori and She Who Waits (maybe even Jakaleel depending on how you see her). After all, nobody knows what secrets they teach, and the Lunars have a touch of dualism, plus reverence for the female. As Simon comments, it depends on what aspects of Gnosticism you want to emphasize.
