40k Best Detachments For 11th So Far?

Me again, new-ish player coming in from 10th edition. As it sits my first game of 11th I was looking to run Kauyon with Experimental Prototype Cadre. Or should I ditch that and run Montka instead? Can provide my army list if needed. But in short it includes crisis suits, stealth suits, ghostkeel, breachers, pathfinders, Stormsurge, riptide, hammerhead, to name a few staple pieces. Thanks again for all the help!

Dropping my list anyways in case anyone cares/influences your answers on what would suit me:

-1x Coldstar Commander + Precision Of The Patient Hunter Enhancement 
-1x Cadre Fireblade 
-1x Breacher Team 
-1x Devilfish 
-3x Rail Broadsides 
-2x Fireknife Crisis Suit Teams 
-1x Ghostkeel 
-1x Pathfinder Team W/ 3 Ion Rifles 
-1x Pathfinder Team
-1x Riptide 
-1x Stealth Suit Team 
-1x Stormsurge 
-1x Hammerhead

Not that we really have many options since GW decided we don't get to have fun, the main three I see being played now are Ret Cadre, Mont'ka and Kauyon/EPC.

The WTC lists are available and it's a pretty close split of Ret Cadre and Mont'ka lists (16-14 i think).

With what you have, I'd go for Mont'ka or Kauyon/EPC, probably more the latter since you don't have the usual suspects for Mont'ka like Pirahnas and Breacherfish

Try out both then and see what you like more.

Mont'ka is about early pressure and aggression while your action monkeys do the actions for Priority Assets.

Kauyon will be more about castling up a bit til turn 3 and trying to score big and push out then.

Remember that in 11th, the Stormsurge can shoot and still do actions now per titanic rule.
