I must admit that I am not very wild about those 2 man inf-AT teams, at least in campaign games. While their small size makes them difficult to spot, once they come under fire (direct or indirect) they tend to get destroyed rather easily. And once they run out of ammunition for their AT weapon, they are of rather limited usage. Besides they are not all that cheap in terms of points.
Thus, I nowadays prefer to have my infantry AT weapons mainly in the infantry squads, makes them more survivable. And I end up with a few less units to move, thus speeding up the game a bit.
With ATGMs there tends to be less of a problem, since those teams can open fire at long range, and then scoot further back into new safe spot once they have expended their missiles.
