in terms of competativeness don't use DA *at all*. They're 4th edition and SM codex is better in every way. My friend used to play DA for a while against SM, but every battle several times it'd be "uhh dude that only applies to Space Marines". So yeah, I'd play as vanilla Space Marines until/if/when 5th Ed Dark Angels comes out.
Ever thought 40k would be a lot better with bears?
Codex: Bears.
NOW WITH MR BIGGLES AND HIS AMAZING FLYING CONTRAPTION
What DA used to have that made them special can now be done by vanilla marines and other chapters. There are those who can run dual win or deathwing very well but most just run vanilla marines. Although deathwing are 215 points for powerfists, th/ss or tllc so they are pretty awesome.
