So, I played a 1500 point game today. The mission was Annihilation, the deployment type was Dawn of War.
Here are the two lists:
Iyanden Eldar
Farseer, runes of warding and witnessing, doom, fortune, spirit stones
10 wraithguard, conceal spiritseer
10 dire avengers, dire sword exarch w/ defend
2x wraithlord w/ EML and bright lance
4x dark reapers w/ tempest launcher + crackshot
9x striking scorpions w/ claw exarch
wave serpent w/ EML and shuriken cannon
List two: Craftworld Luna-Sahd Eldar
Farseer runes of witnessing+warding, doom
Maugan Ra
11x storm guardians, 2x flamer, destructor warlock
Waveserpent w/ EML + shuriken cannon
10x Dire Avengers, no upgrades
Waveserpent w/ bright lance
5x pathfinders
2x warwalkers w/ EMLs
Wraithlord w/ brightlance+sword
Wraithlord w/ EML+scatter laser
5x warp spiders w/ twin-deathspinner + powerblade exarch
So, given generals of equal skill, which list is more likely to win the scenario, and why?

These lists are rather similar.
I like the 2nd list with Warwalkers.

Hah, well considering they're from the same codex, they only actually share three unit types between them  and they play very differently.

I like list 1. The wraithguard are a great troop choice to hold objectives! Also 2 wraithlords with b-lances is great for anti-tank. Maybe put the Avengers in the wave serpent instead of the scorpions.

With my style of play i'd have to say the second list. If I was ever to play eldar it'd be based on speed of which the second list has more
