Well, it seems like Eternalized creatures are more powerful than non-eternalized creatures. Besides that, Tezzeret is kind of annoyingly rebellious at times to Bolas - a zombie just seems a little easier to manage. Besides, what skills/abilities can a non-eternalized Gideon offer that an eternalized Gideon could? He isn't a diplomat or an infiltrator in any way - he is solely a fighter/military leader. Sure, an enslaved Tezzeret or Jace could bring a lot to the table as non-eternalized enslaved planeswalkers, but Gideon? It's not like he would be used in any way besides fighting/leading. It just seems to me that eternalization makes more sense than enslavement.
I think there it is very possible Gideon could be B/W - but for a different reason. So there is a lot of foreboding that he will die. But that does not mean he can't come back. Here is my thought - the whole point of the trials is to ensure that the Lazotep zombies are in prime fighting condition. Of all MTG characters, I'd say Gideon is one of the most well known for his beefiness and fighting capabilities - as well as his leadership capabilities.
I think Gideon will die, and then Bolas will turn him into an Eternal - using Gideon's leadership and raw fighting power to lead his new army. The eternals we have seen appear to keep a semblance of their old power and characteristics, which means Gideon would be right at home here. He would probably lose his spark, which means he would be represented by a creature card. Imagine a black (or maybe black/white)Gideon zombie creature named Gideon, General of Bolas, or something along those lines. That would be insane.
Ok, I made an account because I have a speculation I wanted to run by everyone about Gideon. So there is a lot of foreboding that he will die. But that does not mean he can't come back.

What do you guys think - is this a possibility?
