I have just began to start a black templars army. Most of it is pretty standard but i have no clue on how to run my predators. Some say to run all las or autocannon with hb. Others say mixing could be better. Any suggestions?

In my experience, the Predator is only really good with all Lascannons.

Go for a dakkapred, the lascanon variant is simply not killy enough for it's price.

Dakkabox predator is under 100 points and pumps out heaps of fire. If you're really desperate for anti-armor, the lascannon sponsons are forgivable. The autocannon still has plenty of firepower to take out light to medium armor.

For BT it's a little different. I think you guys still get the cheaper TLLC Turrent, right? Most BT armies I've seen use that variant. For Vanilla SM, the Autocannon/HB (Dakka Pred) or Autocannon/Lascannon (CombiPred) are both great, but the TLLC version is simply too expensive.
