You find _⅁ preferable to ĝ?

Yes. I saw it in a sample of typeset Gamilaraay back in college and fell in love.

(As for LaTeX, it should cope fine with any of these — certainly if you’re using XeLaTeX or LuaLaTeX it should. What problems are you encountering?)

I cannot get the breve under the h to compose correctly in section headings. It lets me do a breve above just fine but not below.

The one on Wikipedia, right? That’s what I immediately thought of too. (Though personally I consider that a mere typographic variant of ⟨ŋ⟩.)

Odd. Is there any reason you can’t just use Unicode ⟨ḫ⟩?

(But I suspect an issue with the font, rather than anything to do with LaTeX.)

It is a font issue, yes. I am too attached to the family of typefaces to select a new one.
