I mean its really going to depend largely on the rest of your list. Nobz (I'm assuming you're talking about the regular footslogging kind) pretty much want to stay cheap and cheerful. So you either take a 5 or 10 man unit with Big Choppas and choppas or double choppas in a Trukk. The question is whether or not you make them Trukk Boyz Nobz or Goffs. Deffskullz also isn't terrible in terms of giving them Obsec, but generally speaking you want to double down on their offensive ability.

I'll pretty much echo Grimskul on this, generally you want Nobz to be double Choppa or Big Choppa/Choppa to max their offense while keeping them cheap. Trukkboy Nobz are pretty good and are a fearsome alpha strike unit, but you have to spend the money and points on a trukk.

Goffs Nobz are also good and hit very hard, and Deathskulls are good for bullying things off of objectives.

There's kind of a niche for kombi skorcha Nobz in a trukk doing drive-bys, but they're expensive compared to say Burna Boys who do the same thing in a slightly different manner (more shots compared to higher quality shots)

If we're talking about nobz as a full squad of nobz at the moment their best combo is probably to make them Trukk boyz, 10 of them, with max big choppas. Alternatively same squad but Goffs, to get S8 on the charge. In both cases they need the Waaagh bonus, if you want the Speedwaaagh don't bother with them. 10 with dual choppas aren't bad either and definitely a legit option, they're less versatile and pure anti infantry though.

I do agree its best to keep them low points, though generally I still take 1 power klaw for the versatility and 1 is only 8 points. it does not help every match but sometimes having that klaw to better open a transport or throw some extra wounds on a monster is well worth the points.

If running 5 man its usually dual choppax2, 2 big choppa, 1 power klaw on boss nob

if running 10 then 4x dual choppa, 5 big choppas, and a power klaw on boss nob
