You want more than one sanguinary priest so you can supply FNP once your army starts moving around as the game progresses. Also, sanguinary priests can get killed and it's good to have a backup at 2K.
BA have three basic AV 13 choices: pred, Baal pred, vindicator. For us, they are all fast and all perform different functions. I use all three very often. Maybe for this list, upgrading to las/plas will cut it. I'm not sure.
Most 2K lists are hard pressed to take out three storm ravens. That's not the issue. The issue is that the assault terminators can't possibly assault anything until turn 3, and that makes that particular storm raven a huge, huge target.
Personally, for BA, I'm liking a terminator tactical squad with a terminator sanguinary priest. Reserve them and bring them in with a teleport homer. Against many weapons, you will get two 5++ saves, which is pretty good. And they can still squish monstrous creatures and such. And shoot. There's nothing more fun than bringing in your terminators with precision and then dumping heavy flamer death on some scoring unit with 4+ armor in cover.
