The Deliverer is an awesome vehicle, and the Gal is a potentially awesome transport, put them together and lots of new things will be possible...
For serious assaults, you need heavy infantry and MAXes, not agiles. I understand that some playstyles are different, but Rexo is the way to go.

The buggies are a great alternative - depending on your empire, you should be able to stuff 14-15 players in one transport. Buggies aren't as effective as tanks, but they can bring enough firepower to bear against light targets (Enforcers and Marauders are especially good at suppression; don't have much experience with Threshers).

I like the Deliverer as well (it feels like a big buggy, and it's lethal), but it fills a different niche which doesn't really depend on being dropped from a plane.
