Well, "good" is sort of a relative term for orks in the current metagame, but we'll see what we can do, eh?
Ork boys are ork boys. The only advice I can really offer you here is that shoota boys tend to be slightly more useful than slugga/choppa boys, if you have a choice in models. In the 12-18 inch range a shoota out-shoots a space marine, for a third the cost. In close combat, all boys mostly end up being ablative wounds for their powerklaw/bosspole nob. For the love of god, take a powerklaw/bosspole nob with your boys.
Boys in Trukks work best if you take an all-or-nothing approach. The current game environment makes the majority of vehicles into frustrating resilient shooting platforms, so your opponent can reliably be expected to have several guns capable of tearing your paper-mache, can't-shoot-for-crap death trap into so much scrap metal. Like most ork things, they are most effective when you rush in with more targets than your enemy can possibly kill. In general, that means you want everybody who is moving toward the enemy to be moving at least trukk speed so they cannot focus fire on you.
The old trukk model is comically tiny compared to the new model too, so people might complain at you. However, because it is small, you could run it as a Warbuggy proxie, which solves all sorts of problems. Warbuggies and deff-coptas, either equipped with twin-linked rokkits, are very closely matched for the much needed vehicle hunting capability in an ork army, so thats an option I guess.
Regular bikers are, point for point, the best anti-infantry shooting available in the codex, bar none. You rarely see them though, because if you want to play with just a few bikes, you could take nobs on bikes instead.
Nob bikers (a trivial proxy to claim) are easily in the top five most dangerous and resilient units in the entire game right now. (they will die to thunderwolf cavalry and assault termi
