On the other hand, I really like the built in yard hosing we get with Dryad Militant. Add that to Scavenging Ooze and opposing DRSs and maybe Goyf isn't so hot? If I'm going to run this green stompy, I'd like to run the best green creatures for the build. If that means Goyf, I'll run Goyf. But if that means Dryad Militant instead, I want to run that.
A related thought, is it worth running duals for Wild Kitty, and if so is this deck just strictly worse than Zoo?
Also, I assume Infect Stompy is just faster. Is there any reason to run traditional Stompy instead (perhaps it's more consistent or resilient)?
I don't want to say infect is faster, but it does make you a lot less all in on the speed factor. I say that simply because without pump 10 poison is less then 20 damage. Over committing with infect is a little bit less painful when you open yourself up to x for 1's.
I think militant is under played to say the least.
As for your build I think the choice comes down to how fast are you trying to win. Dryad seem better for a longer game because it does more then goyf. Goyf seems better if you just want speed as he can be large for very little. Splashes may also affect decisions.

Big problem with Dryad Militant is that it's pretty awful in multiples, yet you want it down early since it doesn't remove instants/sorceries already in the yard, so you're left between wanting consistency but not wanting multiples. Not really a good prospect.
Goyf on the other hand is almost always good (barring fringe cases like a Rest in Peace being in play) and drawing multiples is fine.
I mean if you're having Goyf nightmares and all you want to do is hose them then you can certainly build a deck to do it but if you're talking about general consistency/competitiveness I don't think much comes close to Goyf in his role.

Obviously Goyf is a fantastic beater, and we can run fetchlands, Lotus Petals,instant pumps and Seal Of Strength.
