ive got an old tau army and only have gun drones, now i want to equip my units with some other drones so what do you think is best.

10x Fire warriors 3x :9x pulsrifles 1x pulse carabine +markerlight. (+2 markdrones or 1x makerdrone 1x shielddrone)
10x Path finders : 3x railrifle, 7 pulscarabines+markerlights (dont know what to take, exept pulse accelerator drone)
6x Stealt suits : 6x burstcannon (+2 markerdrones or 1x makerdrone 1x shielddrone)
4x crisis battlesuits : 4x plasmagun, 2x fusiongun, misslepods ( +2 markerdrones, 2x shieldrone, 4x gundrones?)
1x coldstar comman : weapons are magnetised (1x makerdrone 1x shielddrone)
1x Broadside : Railgun + 2x smartmissle system (1x makerdrone 1x shielddrone)

What kind of drones would you take and why?

I would take 1.66 marker drones for each unit that can benefit from a markerlight. So 8 Marker drones. I would then take... sheild drones for units that need to stick around the entire game and should not be sacrificed. (Crisis team and broadside team). And as long as you don't exceed 10 models in the unit, load up. I don't know what I would do with gun drones... but if you need fast attack units for board control they are cheap and fast, but kinda suck compared to stealthsuits and vespids.

Thanks for your help
