Hi i am having a hard time deciding whether to go Footdar or Mechdar for my Eldar.

I will mostly play planetstrike vs Tau/Space marines/Orks. This is what i got so far:
1 Farseer
4 Warlocks
20 Guardians with 2platforms
1 War Walker
1 Wave Serpent
5 Dire Avengers (1 is a exarch)
6 Striking Scorpions (1 is a exarch) planning on filling out this squad

Think that's all. Planning on getting the FW Avatar.

What is best to make out of this list. Foot or Mech?

I advocate mech because of the punch and ability to take a hit but its really depends on you and what exactly your fighting. If you want to go in the footdar direction some wraithgaurd and wraithlords are a start use fire prisms for your artillery. avatar and eldrad are a great combo, vypers make for a better back up as they are FA instead of heavy slot banshees are nice as they are fleet and will get in there pathfiders are nice sit back and hold an objective troops wraithgaurd will draw fire and with fortune keep rolling on top of being hard to wound in a foot list they are really nice.

If you want to mech up get fire prisms wave serpants DA FD banshees and load them all into serpents

just to mention for those who doesn't play planetstrike, as attacket your compulsary is 1hq and optional is 2more hq 6troops 6eltes 6fast attack and 3heavy, for defenders it is 1hq and 2troops compulsary, optional 2more hq 3elites 3fast attack 4more troops and 6heavy support

Oh and in planetstrike ALL non-vehicle units may deepstrike and those with the deepstrike rule get to assault after a deepstrike. Also the Bastions are mainly the objectives and you only need to touch them with any unit on your side to count as having it (if you are attacker) so for example The Avatar could hold an objective
