Self-explanatory: What do you think is the best battleforce out right now in terms of how much you save and/or the usefullness of the included items. I personally feel the best one our right now is either the Dark Eldar one or the Space Marine one. The space Marine one cause of how much you save on the items included, and the fact that they all have some use, except for the Assault Marines of Course. The Dark Eldar one because all the included units are useful (especially wyches now that they wreck most any vehicle), and in the case of the Kabalites and the Raider, mandatory for most DE lists.

I will say Space wolves, cuz you get stuff you will use later.
I mean drop pod yes please.. orky one is Good if you aim at speed freakz but nothing else. and the Dark angels one if you aim for the bike army. Mainly... i will vote Space wolves due the flexibility of that kit.

I voted Space Marines, but essentially it was proxy for the missing DA. Their bike based BF(Ravenwing?) is a pretty good buy, and a solid base to build off of as far as I know. For flexibility as phatonic posted above, not so great, in that it is a bike based list.

I'm surprised that some consider the CSM Battleforce good, considering how worthless possessed marines are.

Blood angels. With the amount of marines you get you can either go assault or tactical. You can use this box either as blood angels or any other space marine chapter. The space wolves don't really give you that option. The rhino works any where.

But what about the Death Company?

Necrons have a really good battlefore.

Definately the Crons on this one for me, especially that Ghost Ark and I think they are Immortals?

Necrons for me. My answer is maybe biased as it is the only Battle Force I have bought but. Right off the bat I could build a 500-750 point army with a couple of configuration options. All I had to do was buy my own HQ which I quite likes as it allowed me to choose the flavour.
So I had:-

20 Warriors
5 Immortals magnetized to have Tesla or Gauss
20 Scarab bases. I put 2 to a base 
1 Ghost ark/ Annihilation Barge (magnetised)

I then bought my own HQ.

Cheers Vim

Necrons:
You have 5 immortals, 20 warriors, a Ghost ark / Doomsday and 5 scarabs. The only thing you may or may not use are the scarabs.

It's really hard for me to say since I don't really know all of the armies that well. But for me Ork battleforce was pretty good, since everything in it is going to be put to frequent use. Well ok, since I bought two I'm not sure about always needing the second trukk, but it cost only peanuts compared to buying the bikes and boyz separately, so still worth it for when I might need two trukks.
