I think it'd depend on the opponent somewhat, but Salamanders and Celestial Lions are who I'd trust the most. So if protecting the citizens were the priority, I'd choose them. Grey Knights against daemons. Storm Lords and Crimson Fists against orks Deathwatch against tyranids Space Wolves against Thousand Sons If I have to choose 1 chapter for all situations, I'd go with Excoriators.

The last time I saw the Wolves they killed some Grey Knights thinking that they would be sorcerers... So: Apart from that I fought beside everyone of your kind, where were you when we most bitterly needed you...
Carcharodons but with no fucking dead shark heads on them .There are not like the space wolves goddammit
Very very wrong. They where completely aware about who the grey knights where. They had just banished Angron and his hordes together at the first war of Armaggeddon. This is known as the months of shame. http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Months_of_Shame The spacewolves are pretty good at killing anything. even demonic voidwhales where did they even find sharks beyond the light of the astroomicon as a fleet based chapter. I think its just an artist rendition/makebelief since noone of the GW art or showings shows the shark on head
I don't mean this incidence! Muhahah! Don't take the words of this fool for the truth! Let me show you how the Wolves killed Grey Knights thinking they would be sorcerers. Spoiler: Ahriman:Sorcerer In the tome "Ahriman:Sorcerer" it is stated (P.393-407) "The Wolves came from the storm-churned warp. Hel's Daughter, Storm Wyrm, Crone Hammer and Death's Laughter[...]Grimur felt the shudder of the boarding torpedo as it prepared to loose from Hel's Daughter.[...]´The silver craft; hissed the Rune Prist between wet gasps.´It is the exile.[...] They appeared in the teleport chamber, twenty-eight Grey Knights and four humans.[...]`We still have strength; said the inquisitor lord[...]´Lord!´shouted Erionas[...]Erionas opened his mouth to speak as the first boarding torpedo hit the Sigillite's Oath[...] A tongue of flame plucked a brother from Grimur´s side. The stink of sorcery was rank in his mouth[...]He remembered Prospero, and the smell of flesh charring in armour as the Thousand Sons had worn their witchcraft on Grimur and his brothers. The sorcerers had worn crimson then, but now they were creatures of silver that glittered like the flank of the glass pyramids on that now-dead world.[...]Grimur sprang up, turning the blow with the flat of his axe and ramming its edge into the sorcerer´s eyepieces. Crystal and silvered ceramite shattered.Grimur leaped, his claws closing on the sorcerer´s skull and ripping it from the collar of the armour. [...]Ahriman had ... allies that attacked us and gave him a chance to dive back into the storm´[...].´Allies?´[...]´The. Wolves. Of. Fenris?´.... As you see these "saviors of mankind" are incapabel of distinguishing between friend and foe. They are a risk to everybody in the Imperium! Don't follow them...
To be fair, they caught up quickly enough. But it was to late, since blood was spilled and wolfs themselves were mutated so hard (from the years of hunting ahriman in the warp), that Grey knights would have killed them anyway. And the wolfes are not the kind of legion, who would sacrifice themselves without the fight.
