For normal chaos marines I would never take marines, I always run 2 squads of cultists, if the enemy kills them they wasted firepower on a cheap unit, if they don't you have an objective secured unit running around. There's also no reason not to take a drake, even after the nerf with careful planning they easily are our beat anti infantry unit by far. This part is just personal taste, I don't make a list without a pair of maulers, these bad boys when played right spell death for a vehicle a turn each, I love them and they have never let me down. Plus if you ever ally with daemons you can cast grimoire on one to give it a 3+ invo, the wolf player in my group throws a fit whenever I pull that combo out
