Also FW suits are known to be pretty nasty still.

Yeah fw stuff is obviously written by somebody else that likes 3d3/6 while gw generally refuses to go over 1d6.

Ghostkeel have an identity crisis but are still OK. Crisis are good when using a homing beacon but good luck getting an opponent to fall for that twice. Riptide are good but expensive to field. Stealth suits are nice, different aesthetic though. Broadside are costly competing with hammerhead and I don't think they come out ahead unless they gain a 2nd support system.

Honestly Longstrike is great, commanders are also. And three units of fire warriors for a battalion +3cp is easy and worthwhile.

So as a Non-Tau player that has an army now, only b.c i like the models, and suits are one of them.

What would the Perfect flamer unit load out for them be? Just all Flamers and nothing else? keeping them cheap or is there something else that is a must.

I've heard good things about two flamers and a fusion blaster each, using it once worked well enough for me until 5 HQs got out of a waveserpent I blew up and did 5 smites. If the dice were more with me the loadout could have still done pretty well. Flamers have worked excellently when baiting a horde of berzerkers and fusion vs tanks or transports that didn't run from the stealth suits. Generally I think that's a nicely hedged bet since it makes use of either weapons range bonus.
