Infantry - What Do You pick?

[runequester]

My current soviet campaign has:

2 companies of soviet infantry. I upgraded them to SVT rifles when they became available, and dual hand grenade slots. Weak against tanks but they do okay, and they are usually close to my armour anyways.
2 platoons of engineers originally, but I realized that I rarely use them for anything engineer'ish, so exchanged them for SMG troops to send around the flanks. I can always buy engineers as support if needed.
Then 4 units of scouts and 4 snipers. I absolutely love snipers. Very effective for pinning down an entire platoon in many cases.

I tend to focus on well equipped infantry but I rarely buy elite types, unless thats the focus of my campaign.
