In my experience, they're a good piece all around.
Play them mixed melee and ranged? They'll shoot as they approach, and then charge in for hard damage.
Only melee? They'll be a monsterous threat and an absolute bullet magnet, which is what you want.
All ranged? Congratz, you have a discounted pseudo-Vindicator.
All in all, there's no clear bad way to build a Helbrute, although I will say if you are giving it a specific role, don't mix melee and ranged. If you just want a pubstomping beatstick that can take a few turns of focus fire? It's worth the points.
