Not sure whether this should go under the interpret the rule or not, but can I have my six man team of Kasrkins (1 sergeant 4 Kasrkins + 1 more) in a Vendetta which will come from reserves? Not sure whether this would be advisable, but that's beside the point.

Another one that would fit is who dares, wins.
Thank-you, pray to the Emperor and send in the Karskins.

Kasrkin/Stormtroopers/Militarum Tempestus Scions have deep strike naturally so they do not need a Vendetta to get where they wanna go. You're better off putting a platoon command squad or special weapons team in the Vendetta to have a hyper fast objective secured unit that can be dumped off late in the game. Loaded with flamers they can be a decent unit for clearing an objective and they're cheap in points.

Better my CCS (which has Creed and Krell, and a hevay flamer)or my PCS(with a heavy flamer)?

Creed in a flying coffin reduces the value of Creed substantially - he's supposed to stand in your back field screaming at people.

So CCS/PCS with meltas/flamers respectively. the latter is for obsec, the former for damage output.

Some people find the idea that other people can be happy offensive, and will prefer causing harm to self improvement.

Than I shall go with the latter(because Creed is stuck with the CCS). Hey I got one point left, might as well throw that as a bolter on the Leutiant for hopes of survival.

But they do gain a significant advantage in getting somewhere when they need to get there. If you keep them in deep strike reserve you're committing them to the table (likely in a suicide mission) as soon as you roll that 3+. In a Vendetta you have the option to hold them back until you need them, letting you drop a late-turn objective grab without getting them killed before objectives are scored.

Now, the PCS/SWS option is always a good thing, but you don't always have infantry platoons to bring them. If you're taking a vet-heavy list a 5-man storm trooper squad in a Vendetta is a good enough substitute.

There is no such thing as a hobby without politics. "Leave politics at the door" is itself a political statement, an endorsement of the status quo and an attempt to silence dissenting voices.

Well thank-you all, and Emperor bless you, I shall determine which works better, through bloody field tests(many will die in the name of tactics).
