How did Hoplite Warriors use their Shield Design as a War Tactic?
They used an upside down V. This was the most feared symbol in Ancient Times. The Spartans used the inverted "V" (Greek letter Lamda or L) to identify them as Spartans. See other entries in Answers.Com for a fuller explanation. So I guess the original answer is correct as it meant your enemy were the best fighting force in Greece. Hoplights used many designs on their shields including Medusa heads, bulls faces and other patterns to either identify the warrior or to identify their city.

What was one tactic used by the ancient Persians to defeat an assault by a hoplite battle formation?
Attacks by Hoplite infantry formations presented a dangerous battlefield situation for the ancient Persians. In situations where the Persians were relying on their light infantry, it became a challenge to defeat the hoplite heavy infantry attacks. One method was to establish an aray of archers some distance from a hopelite formation. Far enough away to prevent a spear attack, but close enough for archery arrows. With their light cavalry, the Persians would attack each flank of the hoplite formation. The cavalry attacks would force the hoplite formation to stop its march and defend each side of their formation. This allowed the large Persian archery force to shower the immobilized and distracted hopelites. The combined counter offensive of the Persians, the archers and the light cavalry would defeat the hoplite army.
Which soldier was better - the hoplite or the legionary?
The vote would have to go for the legionary being the better fighting man. The hoplite fought in tight formation and their main weapon was a spear. They also had a pushing tactic with their shields, but if their formation broke, their lines were penetrated and it was difficult to reform, even though they may have had a second line in the rear. The Romans abandoned this method of fighting and went to the maniple, which was a more mobile unit, more dependent on charges and hand to hand combat than the tightly packed hoplite method. The victories of the Romans speak for themselves as to which was the better method of fighting.
