OK, given that you want reasonably armament and a
infantry complement which must be PA:

It'll take 8 capacity points for 1 team.
You want a size 1 weapon (MDC, likely because Grav has
FGP anyway) for direct fire.  3 cap points.
And either GMS/L and 2 APSWs or GMS/H.	I personally
like the 2 APSWs and the GMS/L.  You've got hellacious
capability vs. light armor and infantry.  Since you're
mostly fighting enemy recon assets, and fighting
delaying actions vs. his main force you don't need the
smack-down ability of the GMS/H.  If tanks show up,
you're going to be outclassed anyway, so why tempt
fate by giving your cav troopers the illusion of being
tank hunters?
