Which Eldar/DE units do you think work best in a Ynnari army?

I haven't gone too deep into the changes for either army, but the standouts to me are Warriors, Scourges (surprisingly with dark lances as a possibility, given the split fire and change to moving heavy weapons, though splinter cannons add a fair bit of anti-infantry firepower, especially at the 18" range they want to lurk at), and then venoms, raiders and ravagers (great for mobile firepower)

The rest is basically 'fill in craftworld units' as your specialization needs dictate.

Dark reapers are tempting, but they look like they'll get shot off the board really fast.
Triple shuriken cannon wave serpents look really good.

The other falcon chassis vehicles appeal to me, but I dislike the idea of 'parking lot eldar,' and crystal targeting matrixes only help with the nearest target, which is generally not the best option for eldar weapons.

Maybe rangers for utility, but ultimately the troops slot belongs to DE.

Oh, one other thing - I'd like to use Yvraine but I've no idea what to put her with. Any ideas?

Also, is it a bad idea to start her in a vehicle?

I think she wants to be on the board, casting Word of the Phoenix for double move. Surround her with any kind of cheap chaff units so she can't be targeted.

I like Yvraine with a unit of wraithblades. Then she can use word of the phoenix to give them a nice big speed boost. She is tough enough to generally start on the board
