When building an ork army list, which of the following units do you think would be a better unit for scoring purposes, getting kills, etc...
Both units are close to the same cost, your just trading boys for toys. If you were to pick 3 to field, which combination of the above would you use?

BattleWagon : Deff Rolla : Grot Rigger : Red Paint Job : Armored Plates : Zzap Gun : 4 Rokkits
20 Shoota Boys w/2 big shootas + Nob w/PK

BattleWagon : KillaKannon : Deff Rolla : Grot Rigger : Red Paint Job : Armored Plates : Zzap Gun : 4 Rokkits
12 Shoota Boys w/1 big shoota + Nob w/PK

All honesty I use Battle wagons quite differently. They are too slow for transports so i only put fire support inside them. Being closed topped is always nice, and you should just pick weather it is anti tank, or infantry or balanced, and minimize the toys to accommodate that.

Kilikannons are ordanace, so you CANNOT shoot both it, and another weapon. So if you go the killikannon way, I would put on 4 big shootas for longer range shooting while moving to get killikannon in range. U can't shoot them both the same turn anyway. With a killikannon I would not have any of the other toys cause it will be a major target of ur enamy's already and it will go to waist

If you don't go killikannon, then ur options are endless. Toys are wonderful for it.

Also remember that Killikannons are NOT the best an ork army can do. Killikannons have 1 less strength, and 12in less range than it's Boomgun brother. For heavy support, a looted Wagon w Boomgun is always nice

Good Luck Killin

PS: From statements below i realize my mistake on the 4 big shootas. My bad

Why bother with 4 big shooters if your moving? you can only fire 1 weapon. You might as well not bother shooting and move a full 12" or 0-6" and fire the killKannon (or +1" with red paint)

I wouldn't put a killcannon on a battlewagon. If you are transporting Nobz take the points and give them shoota-skorchas and since it is openned top than all can fire and you can put the template on the hull when targeting.
