Use the extra points by adding more termagants, and split them at least 50-50 between fleshborers and devourers, so the cheaper troops absorb fire.
You can get 25 vanilla, 20 devilgants within your total, if my mental arithmetic is right, which feels better...there aren't that many upsides to the new codex, but having mixed broods is one of them.

am i able to split my unit of gaunts into two lots of 15 and still take the tervigon as a troop i'm not sure it just says you have to have thirty in a brood so if i can do that i could use hive commander on my other flyrant and flank with both units of 15

You have to have 30 in one brood I"m pretty sure. And surely outflanking tevy plus 30 (or 45) gants is better than simply outflanking two squads of gants (that's if I understand what you're proposing).
You will lose a lot of wounds to shooting as they make their way across the board, so it's a really, really good idea to have some fleshborer gants to take the punishment as opposed to the more expensive devilgants.

would i be better to get 2 lots of normal termagaunts (2x 30 vanilla) and using the last 20 for obviously the buff on the flyrant for flanking on both units of 30

I like the flyrants, also like the outflank on either the tervigon or the termagants (i would probably choose the tervigon).
I say loose regen on the exocrines and put one on the tervigon.
Also I worry about your synapse, 2 zoans are going down fast, and the flyrants cant always be where they are needed. But this is a problem I have found aswell.
