Lord Commissars are the better pick.
As I see it, the one "good" use of command squads in a list like this is with medpack and three Plasma Guns (or just four plasma guns, depending on how much you like your men, I guess), and either treat them as a non-scoring veteran squad (in which case, get them a gunship, drop down, blast something and take bets on what will kill them), or to keep back and (somewhat) "protect" your tanks from deep strikers (as in, help the survivors kill whatever made a number of their friend), in which case, keep them hidden in a chimera behind the russes...
