I've never used sonars,predators or bikers as of yet but i do intend to use them at some point.
The Sonars get shot up pretty quickly so don't be too depressed if they do nothing all game. They are a soft target, yet better your opponent shoot at them rather than a juicier unit.
Predators - Said it before and I will say it again - @ 300 points for 6 FF monsters that move 30cm, they are awesome in an assault and in Supporting fire. Thoroughly recommended
Bikers - These are pretty much Chaos bikers with Ignore Cover on their FF. The Fearless Character helps, yet like the sonars, generally a soft target

I do agree with you about the painlord,ive onbly tried using it as a gun platform once and that didnt really work for me,but in combat its right beast.
Last game i used it,it destroyed 2 lords of battle,2 plague towers and a huge formation of mutants,it had 1 DC left but it was still impressive.
Yep, just one look at the stats and I knew that a 60cm march was in order for the first turn. Just have to get him behind buildings to claim hull down where possible.

For infantry i only ever take noise marines,mainly for the FF value,because these guys are the support for when my mass of deamons arrive and assault( i usually take a GD,10 deamonettes and 10 seekers(might not take these next game)),but the whole fearless thing definatley helps!!!
Yes, they really are a nasty piece of work at 10-15cm. Remember that Decadents (while not fearless) also have Daemonic Pact, have a 45cm shot, and their 4+ stats are not something to scoff at when you are saving 75 points. 2 of these guys with the help of some Daemons almost grabbed me a shot at the BTS, yet the dice did not see it that way

i usually take knights,but might try out the deamon engine pack next.
I have used Defilers alot, and the Debasers themselves are a good source for the AA defence. Overall the unit has not done too much for me other than drive the fear of using aircraft or getting too close, into my opponent. For that, the cost may be justified. With Defilers coming down to 250 in other lists, we may see these come down in cost by 25 points (as a formation) - unsure at this time. No doubt more games will tell.

Now ive got a second army,might actually get a game with my friends without having to travel too much!!!
I know what you mean. Always good to be able to play any force at a whim.
Keep me updated on your thoughts and findings.
Cheers dude and thanks for sharing.
