Actually, I have found the Eldar to be the best at this, what with
their skimming fast transport tanks and their 30/45cm jump pack
warriors. Just don't pop up with them in the shooting phase and no one
will touch you until you get into assault. Obviously you need some
terrain to make this work, but it's usually viable.
