3.5 edition oblits were overpowered... the new ones are better balanced now that they've lost the autocannon and heavy bolter options.
the main disadvantes now for oblits;
a) extremely small squad size + T4
b) no anti-infantry guns beyond a twin-linked flamer
so against hoards, the oblits are just plain over-kill! havocs can pack upto 4 heavy or special weapons which lets you tailor them to pretty much any battlefield role. plus the havocs can truck about in a rhino so they've got added mobility on their side.
against tanks though, the oblits are probably a better buy as they have every anti-tank weapon you want! they're also pretty damn good against MEQ's thanks to their twin-linked plasma gun or plasma cannon option.
cheers!
