What is the best mark to give Marauders if they have the Banner of Rage and Flails?

Flail/GW Marauders are best with Khorne. They're not very survivable but dish out a lot of damage for cheap

Marauders can not get banner of rage

Great Weapons and Khorne, tried and true never fails

If they have a banner with them it would have to be the BSB, in which case I'd suggest just use MoK and give the BSB magic items and whichever mark you like. Ironcurse Icon and some protection with a magic weapon is a nice start.
If however you do want an additional effect from a banner, change the banner of rage as it's an expensive one for what can be gained from a mark on the unit imho.

As stated, Marauders can NOT take a Magic Banner. Now, if they are with a Battle Standard Bearer, then he could take one for the unit. Remember though, that the Battle Standard Bearer can NOT take any other Magical Items, so Magical Weapon on him are not an option.

Also, as stated, Mark of Khorne is great on them.

Obviously, don't go with the Mark of Khorne IF they already have Frenzy from the Banner of Rage. In that case, I'd definitely go with the Mark of Nurgle. With the large number of attacks from Frenzy and the high Strength from Flails (or Great Weapons), you only will have trouble with To Hit rolls, and the -1 to WS could easily make the difference between rolling 4+ To Hit and rolling 3+ To Hit. Slaanesh is probably not necessary with the higher Leadership of the Battle Standard Bearer and his reroll bonus. The Mark of Tzeentch probably won't help too much.

As they all said.

I personally like mok with gw.
They stay punchy every round of combat.

A unit of fifty as a bus with shields and mark of tzeentch is also a great anvil in an army of almost all hammers. I love doing this when I fight stuff like bloodletters and grave guard which will hit a warrior block a little too hard for my liking and it will easily allow me to set up a nice flank charge.
