I can't think of a particular reason to change what you are using without seeing exactly what your friend has or his playstyle but after many games vs. custodes, I have found two things have contributed to my victories against that faction:

1. Feign spreading out left and right. Unless he is spamming jetbikes, he will have to take time to chase you down. Once units are isolated like that, you can choose which units to identify for destruction

2. Don't just focus the heavy hitters on them to trigger invuls- make sure you focus down single Custodes units at a time in order to make them fail 2+ saves.

Oh one big question: Do you both play the new 9th ed Chapter Approved grand tournament missions? If so, killing them shouldn't be your priority. In this case, see #1. If you play the objectives in the new missions, its easier to "deal with" Custodes rather than try to kill them all.
