Any Celtic unit, really. I get them any time I can, and when I can't, I long for them. It's a good thing they are available almost everywhere at least as mercenaries if nothing else.

Hello to all. I've been playing EB mostly with romans and maks but I end up always hiring the same mercs: kretans and the galatian version of the Geasatea. this last ones may be very expensive but they are worth it. On my factional rooster as roman I would say that Pedites ext. are the ones I rely on. On average army I use 2 units but will go up to 4 if I expect a hard fight. Not very accurate from a historic point view...but I can't resist. As Maks, usualy I stick with levy phalanxs. They can hold a line long enough for me to use other units for flanking manouvers. Specialy if the flankers are those galatians berserkers.
It began on seven hills - an EB 1.1 Romani AAR with historical house-rules (now ceased)
Heirs to Lysimachos - an EB 1.1 Epeiros-as-Pergamon AAR with semi-historical houserules (now ceased)
Philetairos' Gift - a second EB 1.1 Epeiros-as-Pergamon AAR
10 units of these guys and you have no fear of losing any battle....

I really like the Iberian units and sometimes wonder whether they were the only real infantry which could have beaten the Romans, that is if the Spanish peninsula were united before the Romans obtained too much territory.
Iberian assault infantry (good against everyone)
Iberian Medium spearmen (good against everyone except super heavy infantry)
Lusotana light infantry/Balearic light infantry (for being mix of AP units and skirmishers)
Other special units:
Milnaht and Mori Gaesum if their unit spacing were broader.
Gallic aux cavalry for being Leuce Eipos missile proof.
Rhaetic axemen/Alpine phalanx for being cheap professional troops.
Yee-haw!

Usually the extreme elite units, I just can form a decent royal army without them.
