With the release of the new nightsycthe model I'm just wondering which mode of transportation you prefer your warriors riding in style in?

Heres my pro and cons I considered for fielding them:

Ghost ark:
Pros:
Open topped so you can shoot out
Quantum shielding
Repair Barge
2 weapons systems
Cons:
Open Topped
Standard vehicle movement
10 model capacity

Nightsythe:
Pros:
Up to 36" move
Tesla destructor
15 model capacity
Cons:
No quantum shielding
If wrecked models go to reserve
Only 1 weapon system(admittedly very powerful)
Passengers may not fire while embarked

For me the not being thrown into reserves on a wreck, repair barge ability, and quantum shielding means for my warriors the ghost ark wins out.

I feel for warriors, you are better off with a ghost arc, due to the ability to repair dead warriors.

Of course the night scythe can take anything, making it a more flexible platform

Night scythe. It can contribute to the fight and is the best protection for warriors because they cant get shot out.

I would not run more than 1 ghost ark, and that is only if I had two+warrior units

Depends on the list. I play aggressively so if I want a transport it 's always going to be a Scythe. If I played a foot-slogging list with lots of long ranged fire support I would probably take Ghost Arks.
