I have been wanting to build a White Weanies deck for quite sometime and I would love to know the best picks for creatures. I am thinking about supporting the Weanies with Aether Vial, Smuggler's Copter, and Oketra's Monument.
So far I want to run Steppe Lynx, Elite Vanguard, Auriok Champion, Kor Firewalker, and Thraben Inspector.
What are some better creatures for an ultimate white Weanies archetype?
Secure the Wastes is good, as well as Honor of the Pure. I wouldn't run Oketra's Monument, its just a little too clunky.

Sounds like you're on your way to a nice Death & Taxes deck (which is the classic name for white weenie decks that rely on Aether Vial). I'd suggest disruptive 2-drops like Leonin Arbiter and Thalia, Guardian of Thraben to mess with people, and value 3-drops like Blade Splicer and Flickerwisp to give you a little more beef. I also recommend Ghost Quarter and Shefet Dunes in the lands department.

Steppe Lynx is playable provided that you include a lot of Fetches and Knight of the Reliquary.

Note that Soldier of the Pantheon and Dragon Hunter are Elite Vanguards/Expedition Envoys with some abilities (which may not be relevant most of the time, but are still better than nothing...)

Soldier of the Pantheon can be quite relevant and while above is certainly correct about Dragon Hunter, Dryad Militant is also very relavent.
I prefer Kytheon, Hero of Akros
Flip.

I wouldn't run Steppe Lynx white weanies doesn't play enough lands to make it worth it.
Some other creatures to consider are Squadron Hawk, Mirran Crusader, Flickerwisp, Blade Splicer, Hanweir Militia Captain Flip, Thalia, Guardian of Thraben, and Adanto Vanguard.
Alternatively you could take a route more focused on humans and play Champion of the Parish, Thalia's Lieutenant, Precinct Captain, Knight of the White Orchid, Weathered Wayfarer, and Expedition Envoy.
Honestly white weenie goes in two directions; some kind of taxes build or monument (with monument I think Mentor of the Meek and/or Bygone Bishop is a must)
