I want to see how everyone divides these up. I also would love it if people mentioned their experience with Orkz, whether you play them, play against them or if you have just read about them.

So divide this codex into 3 categories.
Competitive: Competitive implies that you would bring this to a tournament you intended to try and win.

Average: Things you would take to a normal game with the feeling that it isn't necessarily the best thing in the codex but not necessarily trash. In other words, AVERAGE!

For Fun Only: You bring this unit knowing it is hot garbage but you love how it looks, how it plays or how it makes you feel. In other words you know you are bringing a bad unit.

Copy paste the list below and put your opinion next to it. 1 For Competitive, 2 for Average and 3 for For Fun Only. If you want to make a comment about a unit or whether its only competitive if built a specific way, feel free to next to the entry.
If you have no opinion on a specific unit because you either don't feel qualified to make a remark or because you are biased against it just put a 0 next to it.

Fun - everything in moderation.
Competitive - a few things overdone.

A weirdboy is not unfun.
Ten of them trying to summon demons is.

My ork collection includes one or three of most of that list.
Varied. Fun IMO.
At the same time I will never field a wraithknight cuz the background basically makes them super rare unless you like tobreed and then kill odd twins on purpose.
So not for me.
But a morkanaut is a different story.

Competitive (stuff I would and have brought to a tournament):

Tankbustas
Trukk
Weirdboy
Boyz
Kommandos
Deffcoptas
Killa Kanz
Nob W/ Waagh banner
Warboss
Mek Gunz
Big Gunz
Grot Tanks
Big Mek
Ghazghkull

(Some of these are obviously loadout dependent and super broad. I've put things in the highest category I would rate them, based on the best configuration - I'm not dinging Mek Gunz for Bubblechukkas or Smasha Gunz when I only use them as KMKs for instance)

Average:

Blitza Bommer
Gorkanaut
Meka Dread
Nobz (as functional burna boyz)
Battlewagon
Painboy
Stormboyz
Flash Gitz
Grotsnik
Skorcha
Warbuggy

Fun only:

Deff Dread
Stompa
Snikrot
Zagstruk
Bikers of all kinds
Gretchin
Grot Mega Tank
Other flyers

No opinion: most of the FW stuff I've never seen and haven't looked at because I don't own it.

Obviously the cookie cutter boyspam list is competitive. I've had great success vs other fairly competitive setups with a kan wall with a single boyz jump. my for fun list is a 100% gretchin force.

HQs:

Big Mek - 2 (for mech)
Snikrot - 2? (not sure, doesn't seem too terrible but definitely not auto-include)
Zagstruk - 2?(doesn't seem to be needed but can be ok)
Ghazghkull - 1
Badrukk - 2.5 (too expensive but can be passable for fun games)
Buzzgob - 0
Warboss - 1
Weirdboy - 1
Zhadsnark - 0

ELITES:

Burna Boyz - 2 (for mech)
Kommandos - 1
Grotsnik - 1.5? (if you want a painboy, run him instead; but you don't always want a painboy in the first place)
Meganobz - 2 (not terrible - just bad for competitive)
Mek - 3
Banner Nob - 1
Nobz - 1 (for mech)
Nobz on Bike - 3 (take regular bikers instead)
Painboy - 3
Runtherd - 3 (maybe if grots were 2 ppm...)
Tankbustas - 1.5 (good for mech, not sure about footslogging lists but if you get good protection and mobility - a trukk for example - they can be useful; very expensive, however)

TROOPS:

Boyz - 1
Gretchin - 3 (use only to fill slots if you REALLY lack 30 pt to get boyz instead)

FAST ATTACK:

Deff Kopta - 2 (too expensive but situationally useful)
Grot Mega-Tank - 0
Grot Tanks - 0
Skorcha Buggy - 2.5 (too expensive but is better than just buggy)
Stormboyz - 1
Warbikers - 1.5 (they're ok just a couple pts overpriced but can be used with good results in mech or in biker spam lists)
Warbuggies - 3 (just take bikers)
Wartrakk - 3 (just take bikers)

HEAVY SUPPORT:

Battlewagon - 1 (primary transport in mech)
Big Gunz - 1.5 (passable in min squads)
Big Trakk - 0
Deff Dread - 2.5 (for walker spam only - too expensive)
Flash Gitz - 3 (cool, characterful, 40% ovrpriced)
Gorkanaut - 1.5 (some like it, some don't - it's a go-to centerpiece in a walker list. Not sure if it's useful for footsloggas, though)
Killa Kanz - 2.5 (too expensive - only used in walker lists)
Lifta Wagon - 0
Lootas - 2.5 (too expensive, crappy damage output for points but can be used as basically the only 48 ranged anti-tank that's not entirely horrible)
Mek Gunz - 1.5 (passable in min squads)
Meka Dread - 0
Morkanaut - 3 (just take a naught and a big mek)
Squiggoth - 0

FLYERS:

Blitza Bommer - 2.5 (too expensive, really important stuff rarely blobs in squads larger than 5, so the bombs go to waste)
Burna Bommer - 3 (worse and more dangerous for you than the blitza bomber for ~ the same price...what a bargain)
Dakkajet - 2 (don't even compare them to what other codexes get, but they're ok for ork standards; we do need to kill stuff at range from time to time)
Wazbom Blastajet - 2.5 (crappy bs and point cost kills it's usefullness for anything other than very situational character sniping)

TRANSPORTS:

Chinork Warkopta - 0
Trukk - 1.5 (for tankbustas and to minimise character drops when you want to go first - and you almost always want to go first)

SUPER HEAVIES:

Gargantuan Squiggoth - 0
Kill Tank - 0
Kustom Stompa - 0
Stompa - 3 (HOW much does it cost, once again?!)
