The Shadow Cat is agile, jumpy, and dodgy, but a tad light on firepower.
The Huntsman packs major firepower, but is slow to turn and accelerate.
I prefer the Shadow Cat.

The Shadow Cat has ECM and is 45 tons. My Drop Deck could be Shadow Cat,Kit Fox,Linebacker Redline, and a Direwolf UV. All Heroes and all Omnimechs.
I have not made my decision. I think Jonathan 8883 for their thoughtful input.

I see a lot more Huntsmen than I do Shadowcats in fp, at least in scouting.
Good hunting,

I would run an ACW over an IFR any day even if that means not bringing maximum tonnage. IFRs are really lacklustre mechs that are barely played and bringing a splatwolf would be more optimal against IS lights.
SRMs spread can be mitigated by engaging in closer ranges before unleashing a 96point alpha.

The point of the Ice Ferret is kiting and poking at range due to its high speed, above average durability, and 400+m range with 5 ERML and ECM or 6 ERML and no ECM. An ACW would be somewhat irrelevant for this role, as it can't kite anything due to the short range.

The huntsman hero has ST missile hardpoints which can be combined with the missile arms from other variants for 8 missile hardpoints.
(Alternatives would be a Stormcrow or Nova)
For FP invasion: Schadow Cat can nicely fill the last slot of the heavy/heavy/heavy/medium dropdecks when e.g. all heavies are 65t. The Cat is a bit squishy, but fast and agile. Most commonly runs 2 HLL or 2 ERLL or 2 ERPPC.
Mishipeshu allows you to trade some heatsinks for 4MGs (using SHC-MI arm and SHC-P arm).
You could also forgo ECM and run 7 MGs (using SHC-P torso).
(other SHCs can only mount 2 E and 6 MGs - or 1 E and 7 MGs)
Doesn't mean the Huntsman can't be used in invasion - it can make for a mean last drop if you can spare the tonnage (e.g. HBR/HBR/MDD/HMN).
