Well, it depends on what the razorbacks will be doing.
I like to leave my antitank to autolaspreds and ac baalpreds etc so i can capitalize on the benefit of the BA razors, their insane cheapness, 20 pts for a av11 box yespls, so ill take TLHF on them, as every 3.5~ weapon upgrades = 1 extra 5 man 1 melta infernus pistol sarge in a razorback.
If you are using them for AT assistance TL las is alright, but i dont favor it as a single weapon destroyed = well ... at least im fast and can ram ....

I would go for assault cannons , they are a decent all-rounder - good anti personnel - fair anti light armour - also good for monstrous creatures , all mixed in one bag .

That is why I would say las/twin- plas except all the shots are at a higher strength and AP2 so they always negate FNP and don't rely on a 6 to wound to crack MEQ and TEQ armor save. Plus since the BA razorback is fast it can move six and shot both weapons when needed and a single weapon destroyed doesn't neuter the platform.

important factors to consider is 1) their intended role (obviously); and 2) whether you have adequate duplicity or spam on the unit.
Heavy Bolters- anti infantry from afar (personally i think is the worst choice even though all the rest cost an additional 35 points)
TL Auto Can- great at protecting flanks and fire bases from deepstrikers/outflankers that show up suddenly and need to be dealt with quickly. Also are great at camping mid board.
TL Lascannon- great range, st 9. When this weapon is relied upon heavily to hit its target every time then TL it.
las/plas- TWO WEAPONS! this means the transport is statistically far more durable because it can survive more weapon destroyed hit and still be useful. I like this outfit when I have spammed lascannons and it is not imperative that I hit every time. The TL Plas is a meh weapon in and of itself but will help against TMCs and MEQs.

TL Lascannon has great range, but the assault marines in the razor back are intended to get close to the enemy so they can assault them. In the never ending AC versus LC debate what best wins the debate in the case of a BA razorback is a LC razorback is either closing to short range with the enemy with a long range gun, or is hanging back from the enemy and moving the assault marines inside further from the fight.
If it was tac marines wanting to stay back a bit the extra range for a lascannon would make sense, but it just doesn't make sense to me when the razorback is a transport for a close combat squad.

Chaos isn’t a pit. Chaos is a ladder. Many who try to climb it fail, and never get to try again. The fall breaks them. And some are given a chance to climb, but refuse. They cling to the realm, or love, or the gods…illusions. Only the ladder is real. The climb is all there is, but they’ll never know this. Not until it’s too late.
