I have the feeling, but I might be wrong, that Deva just got downgraded to some kind of Sargent role, as opposed to the Officer previous role. For the Deva/Dikpala team I'd probably go for the repeater option that extends the Deva zone of control and allows for some backfield hacking too I think the Claire team is interesting, doctoring at 17 and unhackable Imm (ARM+BTS).
It might be just because of the new shiney stuff. Deva are still great and can even still make a core team all on their own. In a game with lots of a secret objectives they are fantastic. This team all counts as Dikpala. Giving the hackers Sixth Sense. Then everyone is +1 to BS and +1SD. AND the MSV2 gets a +3 to Discover! The Artalis could be a Doctor instead and brings back the Deva as they are in NWI. DEVA (Multispectral Visor L2) Spitfire, Nanopulser ( ) / Pistol, CC Weapon.

BS13 from REM Driver, +1 for 4-man team.
I am too convinced it's because of new shiny stuff, it was just a voice from the meta. Still I would put the Dikpala repeater to extend hacker bubble to 16"
A choice for sure. But it's very flexible. How about this for a defense? I didn't realize before you can take 2 Apsara! So the REM Driver is on Dikpala HMG and Sniper.
