I perfer to take the middle path (or half and half, whichever you prefer)

FIRSTLY, I Make my list prior to seeing the other person's army. I Have set point lists that i modify slightly based on the race. I NEVER change my list after Seeing his army makeup.

My troop base is always Stealers, regardless if I'm facing swarm or Power Armored snacks. Fits in with the fluff of my army and I've seen too many gaunt armies.

My HQs will always stay the same (Winged Tyannt and BL with retinue)

Elites, Fast and Heavies is what gets swapped around, depending on the army i'm facing. All my fexes are magnetic as to maximize the weapon output.

IMO, this isn't cheesy in any way. If you know your opponent's army well enough to try to compose a list to exploit his weaknesses, I say go for it. Anyone can do this and those that don't either have very well balanced lists or are too proud/ignorant to face facts, All's fair in war (or war games), take whatever advantages you get and run with them.
