The rules state :

1 Infiltrator can be equipped with one of the following : 1 helix gauntlet; 1 Infiltrator comms array.

Does this mean we cannot have an infiltrator squad with both?

Correct, you can only have 1 infiltrator equipped with either a Helix Gauntlet or Infiltrator Comms Array.

Thanks for the quick reply.

I wonder which one people feel is more useful, I suppose it depends on how many Phobos characters you have on the field.

Agreed, you only have permission to take "one of" the following - taking both would break that permission.
Personally, I see the helix being useful here and there but if you're using a Phobos force (so multiple Phobos Troops units) and you've got the Phobos Captain / Lieutenant on the table? That comms array is ridiculously good.

The helix definitely got a huge boost in usefulness in the 9th edition book. I have yet to run either with the 9th edition codex, but I am far more interested in the helix, especially for a unit which can deploy upboard and sit on an objective before the game starts.
