Given those 'casters I'd say swordsmen over Legionnaires. They don't necessarily need a lot of buffs to work (MAT7 Weapon Master light infantry can smash up quite a lot if you get good charges off), but you've got
DEF buffs to get them in and
STR buffs to get them punching way above their weight class.
(That said the Warspear Chieftain is pretty much mandatory; going from
MAT/
RAT 6/5 to 8/7 against your Prey target is
immensely useful. Having two POW17 attacks/model (one with an extra die for charging) the turn you Assault is just icing on the cake.)

...Yes and no, generally. Swordsmen are more useful in general pick-up kill-things games, and certainly with those 'casters, but if you've got the support you can make Legionnaires an incredibly irritating zone-clogging unit for a turn to buy other things more time to get into position. They're not going to survive anything the other guy throws at them, but if you were using Fyanna2 (for instance) run them up into a zone in pods of two with Iron Flesh up, pop Iron Zeal, and feat, and you're looking at a DEF15/ARM22 unit that's basically immune to infantry-clearing tools and is going to require the other guy to either commit some pretty heavy stuff to killing them or leave them alone.
