Since the Elites section is pretty crowded, and almost every choice is worth taking, which ones would you choose in a single CAD army of larger points value where you could afford all 3 (like 1500-2000 points)?

Personally I'd go with a Triarch Stalker as anchor for my Warrior blobs to boost their shooting, an MSU of sword & board Lychguard as escort for Orikan the Diviner and another MSU of Triarch Praetorians as a counter for any DSing terminators.

Sadly enough, I like all the options, and plan on playing them all frequently, just as part of the Decurion.

But if I HAD to choose, it depends on the list I feel like playing. But Deathmarks are usually always good. And....uhhh.....gaaaa, I can't decide.

For me I prefer mobility and utility. So I chose Stalkers, Praetorians and Flayed Ones.

But realistically, I'd take the formation for Stalkers and Praetorians so that I could fill the elites slots with the other unit options. They're all great.

Didn't even think to do that even with a CAD. Great idea there.

Non formations its deathmarks the amount of times (new dex) theve crippled or destroyed a podded unit is huge, next is praetorians(sword and pistol) as there speed toughness and fearless combined with there take all comers weaponry( s6 shots rend/entropic cc) make them excellent backline rushers. Finally the stalker as it boosts the encroching warriors (or anything else nearby destroyers are insane with it) and packing a 2 shot multimelta fills the reliabale(ish) anti tank role. (Sometimes those 6's just dont come).
In larger again i'd add some lytch but for me the 3 above works best.
