It's all about your needs

If you need more transport you go with SE if you need more firepower you go with FR

Your list Will determine wich flyers you need more

 

What is your list about? Does your infantry has enough transports?

[james71989]

Here is the list i was playing around with. Now as far as transports go I also have available a spartan, 2 dreadclaws, a deathstorm and regular pod plus 2 rhinos. Oh and a sokar stormbird

In general it's always better to use dreadclaws than storm eagles.

[ProsperoStands]

IMO Storm Eagles are a fantastic all around unit. While Dreadclaws get your troops in faster, the Storm Eagle can bring a lot of people in, and also can double as a fire support unit. I tend to use mine not to move my clutch units in as reserve rolls can screw you, but rather as reinforcements to hold objectives or blow the enemy off of one and then go tank hunting.
