Very hard question! Q9's got the longer range and the Chill Touch immunity. Cap can throw quite a few more attack dice over the course of a game. Cap can help the blasts' attack with Tactician, but Q9 can too, by giving homing device. Personally, I would be more inclined to go with Cap, because if you meet a unit that can force you to put order markers on the blasts, such as Krav, Sgt. Drake, Dzu-Teh, or a raelinated Oni, you could engage with Cap and smash face with that 6 attack and counterstrike. But then throw in Isamu/Marcu and it turns back into a crapshoot! I think it has more to do with your personal style than with objective, measurable power level.

Gladiatrons x2: with bonding they will lock down units and give bonus
of +1 to Blastatrons.
Theracus: To help either Major Q9 or Warden 816 achieve high ground
Isamu: Well who else could fill the 10 point role?
600 points
Any Feedback? I'm playing this one next week.

I think a third squad of glads would be a better buy than the Warden. Actually, if you have a third squad of blasts, too, I would ditch the riff-raff altogether and go with:
240 glads x3
180 blasts x3
180 Major Q9
600
That is going to bury most of the 600-point armies I've seen or played.
