I bought 2 boxes and now not sure what to make...

10 Lootas
or
10 burnas
or
5 Lootas & 5 Burnas...

Any suggestions ?

Lootas scare me burnas don't.

Do you have any of em before? no? Loootas!!

do you have a few lootas? get atleast twenty!

if you dont have a mess of lootas, get lootas. Id say youre done getting more at 30 lootas since without double foc thats the most youd ever field (never go above 10man groups as the going to ground is HIGHLY needed in a lot of situations)

Use random boy bodies for the burnas if you want them. Theyre useful, but nowhere near as useful/powerful as lootas.

Lootas are a very good unit, but don't take that to mean burnaboyz are useless. The good old burnawagon is still excellent. One of my favourite units is 10 burnaboyz in a battle wagon with deff rolla, typically joined by a Big Mek with KFF, and it has never failed me.

I really think burna mobs are one of those units that is usually just dismissed out of hand. If you try to treat them like a mob of Boyz and charge them up the board on foot you'll probably be underwhelmed, but if you give them good set of wheels they're much better.

with the faq about range and wounding the burna wagons aint as good they used to be, say the template only can hit 6 out of 20 you can only kill 6 no matter how many wounds you get due that faq. but overwatching with 10/15 burna boyz dats good fun

Can they take a Battlewagon ? The option of transport isnt listed in Army Builder. Only the Nobs or Boyz are allowed the Battlewagon...
