I think using Stealths as markerlight support is terrible, just because they are to darn expensive. Sure you can't be touched at more than 36 inch away, but the most basic squad is 165 points (3 'ui, 2 ML-drones and leader with ML, 55pt per markerlight!). I'd rather take some pathfinders (181 pt, 8pf, fish+DP) or 3 Fire knifes (186) or even a hammerhead (if you don't have 3 of them already).

Preferably I don't use stealths but if i do (as points fillers) I use them in squads of 3 with a FB (and leader with TL, if i have the points) and put them on the board where I can be as annoying as possible, threatening vehicles and small squads. JSJ behind LOS blocking terrain and they have to come get you or ignore you.

I use a hybrid list with many shielding units, when they are that close to my army I'm dead anyway, or the other army is so crippled I can afford to lose the PF.
