EvTW + Familiar? (in General)

My ideal team up to this point has been the following:

Evasion minion in front, also my AMF minion
Tank w/ SoD, and eventually MenC/BoTh
PL Wall, TSA & MgS

I've thought of using a ToE, and putting it on the evasion minion, to help mitigate some damage, but I'm curious about possibly changing to a familiar.

An SF on the evasion minion would give me a hard hitting minion starting at the back row, with my SoD inflicting good damage (if it hits) to the front minion, and splash to the middle. The problem I see with that is the cost to upgrade PTH is prohibitive on the SoD. At +109 PTH, most evasions completely avoid all hits in ranged. I do land some hits occasionally when my evasion minion is still alive, due to having BoF/AoL on it.

My other thought has been a Hal, keeping my team tank focused. Hal's PTH scales fairly effectively, and I've seen decent damage from a lvl 800,000 one I have, considering it's less than half my tax tattoo.

If I did switch to Hal, I would probably put Junction on my tank, and use: AoM, BG, EBs, HoC. Combined with the BoF/AoL on the evasion minion, this would give a solid DX/ST on the Hal, with PTH to combat evasion minions.
--------
Any thoughts on SF vs Hal for this particular setup? I'm currently leaning towards the Hal, but I'm certain that somebody out there has more knowledge/experience in the matter that they could share.

You certainly do not want to put the tattoo on the evasion minion as that would prevent using an EC and MCM on that minion.

EC for more dex/evasion. MCM for more AC.

So would that be a vote for a Halidon Familiar? I don't see much purpose in an SF minion on a tank, since junction would not provide any item benefits for the SF.
