well, what do your opponent's normally use?
if say the space marines start loading up on land speeder tornoados w/assault cannons and/or pred annihilators w/lascannons, then consider a 'fex w/tein-linked venom cannon & enhanced senses. more accurate and stronger than a tyrant, and really you only want to stop those tanks shooting anyways!
this is also your best counter vs a monolith as rending won't work! S10 means you'll glance about 50% of the time, and with 2 shots re-rolling to-hit rolls, you're pretty much assured a roll on the glancing hits table!
conversely, if your opponent's like charging forwards, just go for a cheap yet effective assaulty 'fex; 2x scything talons and your adrenal glands plus toxic miasma... like i said cheap and it give those nasty power fists something expendable to swat! (unlike your more precious synapse gribblies and/or 'stealers!)
basically as a 'nid opponent, cheap yet well defined 'fexes scare me alot more than a fully tooled-up monster as the cheap one is just as hard to down, but much less rewarding as it's worth so few pts!
cheers!
