This might not be tactica as much of a matter of choice, but here goes...

Which would be better, overall, for Combat Patrol: A Broadside, or a Crisis Suit? I know that it's a matter of what weapons and hardware you choose, but which should I go for? Or maybe both. I'm new to the game so I don't have much expertise, so help would be appreciated!

Thanks, Mr. Tau.

Quick question before I answer the query: how does the combat patrol essentially work? We talking 4th ed, or homebrew?

In response to your question: http://www.patrolclash.org.uk/
I'm really just trying to build a good army list before I buy anything.

After doing a quick once-over with the rules, it would appear that the Broadside is not an eligible choice, as it has a 2+ armor save.

Yeah... a day after I posted this, my brother told me they were illegal. I was just to lazy to delete it. I'd go for the fireknife suit anyways, it's just the best I can see for combat patrol.
