I would recommend a generally mobile force, with the intention to pick off the opponents transports and fast troops, to allow the Tau mobility to unable you to pick isolated elements of the enemy and zoom in late game to capture/contest objectives.
A typical force would be:
Shas'el - keep him cheap
2 units of (2-3) crisis suits - I recommend the cheap weapon load outs, eg. twin missile pod & flamer or missile pod, burst cannon, multi-tracker
10 Fire Warriors in a Devilfish
2 units of 10-14 kroot - put them in a forest, if available, for a 2+ cover save if they "go to ground". Alternatively they one could outflank if there is likely be small enemy units or objectives close to the board edges
1 unit of 15-20 kroot with 6-12 Kroot Hounds - To Outflank
2 Hammerheads (Railguns)
1 unit of 2/3 broadsides with advanced stabilization systems
Any points left could be spent on Pathfinders and/or stealths, and to ensure there are sufficient drones attached to the suit team leaders to ensure their survival.
