Raw criticals verses grease guns.

I'm not the best at providing stats on stuff, but I know you all are! I want a very specific thing: to have a company with its "emphasis" on flamethrowers (engineers), or grease guns as infantry. I have a choice to focus on flame engineers, which provide excellent raw "critical" killing power, and benefits from smoke. I also have a choice to go with grease guns, which would allow for me to focus on raw damage rather than just sheer crits. Both are extremely effective, as you all probably know, but I'm trying to weigh my options. Grease guns would get a +1 buff from oversupplied (which I do have), but flamethrowers are pretty dang scary by themselves. I'm not sure where to go right now, but I would be very interested if people in the community would try to persuade me to go either with fire or smgs.

Try and convince me one side or the other... please don't say "do both" because I won't. Don't worry about cost...  what should I do?

I ran a grease gun company earlier that had both bottom and mid t3's, it ended up having insane moving accuracy and my riflemans barely took hits whilst on the move due to received accuracy buffs. In this case, they ended up being rape for an extremely cheap price, as well as being able to field grenades, smoke grenades (which are too cheap to pass up) and stickies. You can literally field 20 or more rifle squads as AI/Vehicle immobilisers, allowing your AT to be more pure due to a larger resource pool to dip in to. Grease guns are extremely cheap for what they can do, would definitely recommend probably a fusion of the two. Maybe have 4-6 flamers with mines (due to cheap mine costs on engies atm), some HT's, 3 officers and 5-6 grease gun squads. Should be more than enough AI for both situational and purely offensive purposes.

FLAMES CRIT THE ELITE ARMOR MORE OFTEN... sO VS kch AND Blitz T4 the flammers would be pretty scary mixed in with the grease guns.
