personally, i don't find kroot that usefull except to perhaps annoy opponents by forcing a target priority test or two... (mind, like facing kroot as they die in droves!)
instead, use those pts to better kit-out your fire warriors. make sure each squad has a marker light in it. i hate marker lights! they are annoying things which make fire warriors far too accurate for my guardsmen's tasts!!!
a sniper team is a must in any tau army! railrifles are great space marine killers, and combined with your fire warriors' marker lights, the sniper teams become utterly lethal...
as for the commander, for now keep him cheap. i suggest you magnatise his hardpoints so you can swap out various weapon/support systems! for 500pts games, stick your anti-tank onto your commander; fusion blaster & missile pod make for a decent combo that can handle any armour you'll com across!
cheers!
