If you can split, kite, and flank well with them, they will be better than marauders. You will also be saving gas which can be put into more ghosts and/or vikings, which again with good micro will benefit you more b) Early on when you're vs mainly gateway units, marauders /w conc shells are vital. As the game progresses, his zealots will have charge, his stalkers will have blink, and factoring in the gas as mentioned before, marines become a better option overall But unless there are exceptional circumstances never go 100% marines or 100% marauders. Even if you have 'perfect' micro, marauders mixed in or leading the front will of course tank some key damage, or allow you to take advantage of the mistakes of the toss and snipe a colossi extremely quickly or pick off retreating units etc EDIT: Masters toss btw

Marines deal effectively with zealots and should form the bulk of your army and most of your drops. If a protoss goes for only stalkers, then you can build only marauders, but you need to be reactive ultimately. Medivacs should accumulate over the course of the game, the bigger the cloud the better, just save them during engagements when you trade armies, eventually the count will get high enough to make your army absurdly cost effective.
