Shootas in general as they are still good in melee. Altogether it's 2 shots on shooting phase and 3 atks on the charge for a total of 5 in one turn. That being said the Choppa boyz have their place with their 4 atks on the charge particularly when calling a Waaaaagh! I'm going to have a total of 30 Goff 'Ard Choppa Boyz in my army and not all 30 will always be used. The rest will be Shoota Boyz. I also plan on having at least 30 Stormboyz minimum which are basically Choppa boyz that move fast like vehicles, they will play a similar role. So mostly Shootas, any other dedicated melee will be of the Nob variety be it normal or MANz. Normal Nobz should only charge those that are already in a tarpit and should be bullying those that are smaller. Manz are more durable to go off and do their own thing after they hop off their transport.
