Manticores are more reliable horde busters, and tank busters to a lesser extent (due to ap4)
I prefer Deathstrikes as they'll decimate whatever they hit  !

Yay.
Where as the Manticore will fire reliably for at least 4 turns D3 shots a turn. (unless wrecked/stunned/Weapon D'd/etc)
The D-strike is not that reliable and will only fire off once.

The Deathstrike is not reliable, nor is it tactically viable. It's kinda something you just take to be funny.
Manticore is awesome, though.

Manticore is more reliable and consistant. The deathstrike is pointless but awesome.

Use the Manticore and save the Deathstrike for apoc games.

The deathstrike missile works best when you take more than one of them and have enough anti tank support to knock people out of their transports before the middle of round 2's shooting.
A lone manticore is good, but kinda derpy with it's ap 4. Still it's str 10, but during night fight, you're not going to be shooting, so why not take a few deathstrikes behind an ageis instead? Shoots on turn 2 on a 5+. The look on your opponents face is worth taking a death strike, the damage they do is secondary.
