I recently started a tau army as well, I decided to use the old eldar inf as fire warriors and pathfinders. The helmet on the old troops slopes back instead of going straight up like the new version of eldar inf. I add length to the barrel of the gun and it looks good. Still not sure what to do about broadsides though...not much out there. Just food for thought though as the old stuff seems to be cheap to get.

I have nothing to add to Kelvin's post as far as his Infantry choices,
but I must say that (IMO) the best Vehicle proxies for Tau
are the CinC (useta be FASA's)
Renegade Legion/Centurion line:

(and less so, but y'know: for completeness sakes: the space line:
http://www.pfc- cinc.com/ rl_spacefighters .html )
They are inexpensive, they look "hammer-heady" (enough anyway)
and you can still fine the light APC plastic sets on eBay -very- inexpensively.

Forgeworld Tanks and Fliers with DRM infantry. The problem lies in the fact that the Tau
tanks look fairly unique with their hammerhead design. But here is a pretty
comprehensive list of decent Tau proxies:
