From what I have read the general consensus seems to be that fortification quad guns are the way to go, though the Stalker seems like a nice option, but better taken as an addition to the quad gun instead of replacing it. The hunter seems a bit over-specialized and unreliable.

If you're facing vendettas with all the lascannons then flakk missile spam in small tactical squad or devastator squads might be better than stalkers.
I'll let you know how my stalker fares when it sees some action.
9 land speeder typhoons would be my personal (suicidal) choice, if I had so many.

Hmmm, flakk missile spam could work, it would also be more versatile as said missile launchers can be fired as frag or krak if needed.

Not if you're facing 3 vendettas, you'll need at least 6 flakk missiles, which means 5 man squad spam.
My stalker saw some action in its first game. Sadly there were no flyers but it still shot at a fair amount of stuff, damaged a few chimeras and kind of helped my mini rhino rush a little, then it got blown up. The servo tracking is great; I was shooting at BS1 anyway so I just shot at two different targets 4 shots at S7 each. Not a bad weapon.
Having armour 12 on the side makes it OK but if you're facing multiple vendettas I feel it would die fast so flakk spam might work better. Or typhoon missile launcher spam (or even a couple of stormtalons with skyhammer m/l).

Stormtalons FTW
And missile spam dev squads.
Tac's should be made without heavies allowing them to get more use out of their bolters and close weapons. (but that's just my opinion).
Stormtalons with Skyhammers are the don's john. The 'hammer most supports the assault cannon and when you bring 2 or more you just own the table.
AV14 is a problem for the 'hammer-talon ... but you have the rest of your army to take out AV14.. plus the Av14 is likely to only be on one facing.
