For a competitive escalation league (500,750,100,1250 pts 3 week intervals) what would be better to field AND win. I have 8 win under my belt so far and am in the lead so I do not want to lose.
I just got off the phone and I was using a generic =I= and iqu ST for my 500 pts so they will let me chose between WH and DH as my main army.
Thank hopefully this wont caus to much of a flame war as this is a army vs army kind of post but as we all know certain armys are better at certain things.

I think it really depends on what other models you have. It also depends on what Heavy Support options you own.
Both are good choices, and both can win. If you wanted to be really tricky, create an army that satisfies BOTH req, and uses the allies rules:
It's not too hard to fulfill requirements for both, and NEVER commit to a particular side of the =I=. like an androgenous =I= list! is it WH?!? is it DH?!?
you might be gimped by not having a Heavy support slot, but that's not a huge problem. there's some help by having Seraphim and DS-ing mini-purgation squads
See I thought the exact same thing use both BUT for the tourny i have to pick one or the other Im think WH as I can still access all the DH goodys but gain a Exorcist.
Though it feels like blasphemy, I'll say that I think WH are overall a stronger, better-rounded force. Of course, you can make a list that could be either via the induction rules (i.e. taking Guard units as troops-choices in your army), so in that sense both WH and DH have similar options. What WH have that DH lack are mechanized units that aren't ISTs, jump troops, and the ever-popular Exorcist. They have some units that aren't so great, as well, and unfortunately those units are some of the coolest -- Sisters Repentia, Penetent Engines, Arco-Flaggelants.
That said, you can also freely ally between Inquisition armies using the rules found in the first part of each codex, so you could make a parent WH list complete with SoBs, and add in a unit of Grey Knights if you like. There are a ton of possibilities here, but if winning is a primary concern, I think Witch Hunters are a better choice.
(I fear I'm going to get excommunicated again for this post. Just when I got... you know... recommunicated)

Thanks that helps a ton.
