Flying Infantry and Zooming Jet Bikes?

I'm in the middle of creating a codex based on the old anime Gundam Wing, and there are two units that were set up one way under 5th, but may better represent their originals with some new 6th Edition upgrades. These two units are based on the Taurus and Aries Mobile Suits. All the Mobile Suits for this fandex are being down-sized from Knight and Titan-sized to appoximately the size of the Tau Battlesuit.

These 2 suits are basically set up to undergo a mild conversion from an infantry-style design to a flying weapon of war.

The conversion for the Taurus is the most extreme, so I kept it as an Infantry Battlesuit that also had the Deep Strike and Turboboost USR. The Aries, though, changed very little, moving between ground and air with relative ease, so I made them Jet Bikes with Deep Strike.

Now, I plan on keeping them their base types of Infantry and Jet Bike for general use, but do you think it would be viable/worthwhile to allow them acces to either the Flying Rules ala FMCs or Zooming rules ala Flyer units?
Are you a Wolf, a Sheep, or a Hound?
