Half Strength vs Full Strength Squads?

[GedofParagon]

Greetings Brothers!

     I am an old School player from back in the day when Tactical Squads were still a thing, and I have a question concerning Intercessors (Regular & Assault) in Particular, and units in 11th Edition in General. If I am using the App correctly it appears that gone are the days of purchasing individual models by points cost per Squad, and now You either purchase them in half strength or full strength allotments.

    My nascent Sons of the Phoenix Army has 20 assorted Intercessor Models, and 12 assorted Assault Intercessor Models available to it. My question is this: Is it better to (in general) run full strength (10 Man) units or is the ability to have more actions available via half strength (5 Man) units more advantageous in this edition?  3 x Squad of 10 or 6 x Squad of 5? Does it make a difference where assault units are concerned vs shooting units? What about other units like Terminators or Veteran Squads?

Thanks in advance for your thoughts,
Frater Ged

Goonhammer just did a recent quick analysis, and it somewhat depends on your mission disposition.
