First off orcs don't speak like cavemen, they have an english cogney accent ;D. Secondly, IMO choppas are the best and two aren't bad either if you have the points available. Forget spears, give those to Gobbos.

Sorry idiot Brian, this is the warhammer world, not the warcraft one. |

E's pretty much spot on. Choppas + shield or 2 choppas is the way to go. Spears are a very iff-ey choice though might work for a unit of big'uns, but that unit cost a serious, serious amount of points.

Neither really, they both have merits.
2 choppas = 2 strength 4 attacks in the first round. Orcs' low initiative mean in later rounds you will likely be swinging last in later rounds, so more attacks back as you suffer casualties first. Cost you point more for this option.
choppa + shield = 1 strength 4 attack, but a 4+ armor save in close combat. (and a 5+ from shooting).
