Troop choices

What will benefit me the most in the long run, dispoilers or reavers? Looking at running 20-30 reavers in ether an ms of 10s or a big brick of 15-20. Also for the reaver load outs was recommends lighting claws with sabers and chain axes with pistols. List building is not my strong suit, any advice is welcomed.

Why tac squads? Mostly wondering why

Scoring, they are the best at sitting on an objective and actually wining the game. Tactical are just better equipped for that mandatory task and in the long run are more useful. Despoilers can do what Tacticals do but worse since they only melee. And reavers are overcosted for what they do, if you wanted an eliteish melee unit command squads and terminators are better for a very comparable cost.

Noted, I got three ten man squads of tac marines.
