Short answer is both.

Long answer is like everyone says, Kamayuks are your main offensive unit, unless they are being hard countered by mass Handcannonersm Otherwise your eagle and slings can deal with them.

It is also cost effective to have Halberdiers acting as shields to your more costly Kamayuks.
