So my army does lack AA right now and was considering either swooping hawks or possibly a flyer. Right now its gonna be a wraithhost with warriors in venoms dskythwraithgaurd in raiders and reavers. Any opinion on what flyer I should go for?

The Crimson Hunter is currently the best anti-air flyer in the game, especially when upgraded to the Exarch for BS5. Vector Dancer means that it both stays on the table longer and can prevent flyers without a turret from getting off shots. Four S8 AP2 shots with Tank Hunter against flyers does a lot of damage and will almost certainly force the enemy flyer to Jink. The Crimson Death formation is very powerful, but also very expensive at 440 points. The Dark Eldar flyers are more suited to air-to-ground than fighting other flyers.

Crimson Hunter, easily.

If you run allied forces, the Wraithfighter is nice too, but not for AA purposes. Both the DE fighters are somewhat lackluster, the Voidraven significantly more so.
