I personally alternate between ork styles of play. It is one of the many awesome things that I love about orks. Although I do think a well played speed freak list will trump all. But really I wondered what everyone else thought. So post your thoughts and vote on what your views are. also let me know if I forgot any.

All of them, depending on my mood and the whims of the dice gods.

More depends on the player than the list, and what armylist you are facing.

You left out battlewagon bash, btw, unless you titled it differently

Oops, that is a goody.

Possibly Defwing also, unless that goes under bully boys, and grot armee also

Deff wing is bully boyz and I did forget grots.

Fair enough.

All are awesome, because Orks

If by Speed Freakz you mean enough orks in trukks to put the average Alabama demolition derby to shame, then that's where my vote goes.

Dakka lists are safer because they don't rely on getting First Turn, and they can actually get First Blood. Speed Freaks also lost much of their punch with the new challenge rules and give First Blood pretty much all the time.

Green Tide is always good for a laugh if built with 6th Edition in mind.

Shoota mobs, Lootas and Kannons, led by KFF Mek and with Dakkajets as points allow. Take your Lootas at 10-models and put them behind an Aegis along with the Kannon teams.

Your opponent now has a wonderful spread of options. He can fight:
- 6pt models with T4 and a 5+ Cover save.
- Lootas can Go to Ground for a 2+ Cover save at the first hint of danger
- Kannons are about ~5pts per wound for T7, and man the Quad Gun for BS3
- Fliers so hit on 6's

Everything in the list is so absurdly durable for the cost that your opponent will be pulling hair out trying to kill it.
Of course the weakest link is if he has something with both range and Ignore Cover that can tackle the Lootas, but even then you can reserve them if you find yourself against Wave Serpent spam and wait for the Jets to help out. Alternatively, buy some fodder-Nobz to get extra Wagons and simply hijack them as a bunker, or use IA:8 to get some Junkas in there.

battlewagon bash works for me. AV14 gets me there, 20 boys per wagon doing drive-bys and jumping out and krumping. keeping it simple works. buying nobs with this and that and whotnotz and doodadz winds up costing me too much for a pieplate target. 2 KFF's, 2x 19 shootas, 1x 20 sluggas w/ PKBP nob, then lootas in the backfield. i bring lootas with me in their own wagons at 2k, leave a unit of grots behind to hold objectives.
