Building My BlueWhite Enchantment/Heroic Deck and not sure which is better for standard.
Favored Hoplite OR Soldier of the Pantheon
For a turn one play.

I think that Favored Hoplite will definitely become stronger if he survives, however unless you have a good amount of spells to do that, Soldier is probably the better choice. And you probably will have plenty of 2/3 CMC heroic cards that will be better targets for your spells. Soldier of the Pantheon can be useful by himself without any spells targeting him.
I would definitely just test both and see what suits your deck the most.

I like Soldier of the Pantheon more since usually there are better options for triggering heroic, like Phalanx Leader by the end of the game, at least in the really agressive decks.

I usually just play 4 nyxborn shieldmate. It can either be a 1-drop or an enchantment

Thanks for the feedback guys think I will run 4x Soldier of the Pantheon ,
got a better heroic target anyway Phalanx Leader some good points put forward.

In my deck i run both of them, but thats also a whole different kind of deck ((R/W aggro)) but i would think either has their merits but i personally like hoplite more.
