After using the unit for a while I think Penal behind cover with Fight to the Death and any MG with stand your ground are the best uses of the abilities.
Stand you ground sounds great until you try to move so a stationary unit like mg is perfect.
To the death beats back PanzerGren reliably if you are behind green cover, with support you can wipe fairly quickly which usually catches the opponent by surprise.
I have played a few games where catching a blob with the Fear propaganda can lead to hilarious results with a quad. I would chase them to base and pin them in base allowing me to capture points and setting traps with mines and scorched earth. Late game a blob forced retreat with Katy is devastating.
