Building my terminators for my spacewolfs, but what should i do, i have two squad on i have build with the powerweapons and the greataxe
for the second squad im note sure powerweapons are only S5 the assault squad terminators with thunderhammers are S9 and 3 damage.
I mostly play against chaos marines or custodes.

People who actually play space wolves should step in and correct me, but I get the impression that (for now) SW kind of have to decide how wolfy they want to commit to being.

You get access to detachments that *only* benefit your SW-exclusive units (ex: Wolf Termies), but fielding SW-exclusive units means your oath of moment gets downgraded to not give you that tasty +1 to-wound.

So my instinct is to either go all-in on SW-exclusive units to get the most bang for your buck on the detachments (probably still including some generic units for fire support)

OR to avoid SW-exclusive units entirely in order to basically just play vanilla marines and benefit from the better Oath of Moment (and possibly better detachments?)

Space Wolves also have some extremely restrictive Leader shenanigans going on, so factor that in too.
