Considering they can only the take the most freakishly hulking of humans on account of the mutations they inflict killing anyone else, Ogryn might be better candidates when it comes down to it.

Not so. They don't take hulking humans at all. The space marine modification process starts in early childhood in the vast majority of chapters. Certainly no later than pre pubescent. It just doesn't work if the candidate is too old.
