They're not Lonchophoroi Hippeis. And technically your FM bodyguards aren't hetairoi, though I forget which of the two is better. From 1.0, I can say that greek FM > recruitable greek general > lonchophoroi/prodromoi/etc. Maybe that's changed, but I'd be surprised if so. The unit size is the main advantage the recruitable guys have, in my experience.
