Skitarii Vanguard, better in Rhinos or Drop Pods?

[N1SB]

Hi guys, I happen to be doing an Ad Mech + Iron Hands ally list, just realised i could use Fast Attack slots for transports to give to Skitarii Vanguard.

 

What should I get for them?  I know Skitarii + Drop Pods were a tournament winning list, but my instinct was to get Rhinos (which I believe can Scout with Vanguard).  Curious about your thoughts, thanks.

Scout only works if all of the models have this special rule. It won't carry over onto the Rhino just because its passengers have it.

Scout is only carried over when you are in a dedicated transport. For Skits I prefer pods. They get them into optimal range and is extremely deadly.

If the unit that purchased the rhino has the scout special rule, then the rhino gets scout

This is true, but neither Vanguards nor Rangers for that matter can actually purchase a Dedicated Transport.  Since you'd have to buy Rhinos through a Space Marine Allied Detachment and then declare that the Vanguards are embarked in them pre-game you'd then lose the Scout ability.  Also, you wouldn't be able to have the Vanguards embarked in either if you bought them as a Dedicated Transport.  When you Ally you must buy transports as Fast Attack choices.
