Nobs aren't great tbh. Going forward, it depends what you want really. Lootas or Tankbustas are probably a good shout. More Boyz. Bikes if you like them. Mek Gunz are also good. You've got the right idea with the solo deffkopta. Some people also like using Meganobz, although they aren't to my taste. So there are a lot of options!

Which mek guns are the most useful?

I would get 2 more deffkoptas, run them all solo. Split up the group of 20 Boyz into 2 more squads of truly boyz, I agree with sledgio that nobz are kinda meh right now. For me gunz I think lobba spam is most popular, but kannons are also popular. I'd definitely get tank bustas, they are one of the best units in the codex right now.

You have a lot of option there... Bubble-chukkaz are neat.

Bubble chukkas are by far the worst mek gunz available.

The most effective choice is a battery of 5 lobbas, maybe multiple units of single lobbas but you need the available slots. Then KMKs. Kannonz can also be quite good in very small games, like the 500 points format and 1-2 traktor can be very useful too but they're much dependant to the presence of flyers. If you have a HS slot available and your list suffers flyers a single traktor with ammo runt is only 33 points and it's handy.

Smasha gunz, zaap gunz and bubble chukkas are too unreliable.

Kannons are probably best for solo backfield objective camping.

Though, all the mek gunz are pretty good. Even the worst ones - bubblechukkas and smasha gunz - are still good for what they do. I prefer to get a unit of 5 lobbas with 5 ammo runts in every ork list.
