I'd say taking plasma gun and flamer is quite nasty, and meltagun/flamer is nice. However, mixing things like a heavy weapon (autocannon, heavy bolters, lascannon, missile launcher) with an assault (flamer, melta) is a big waste of the gun.
HOWEVER putting a plasma gun in their is not so bad, but again isn't needed. It's a little extra punch to the squad, and is more worthwhile than a flamer or a melta because you have the 24" range, and you can rapid fire it.
There's my opinion... | So your saying if I do use a Heavy, like a Las, I should just drop the Assault? Hmmm. Actually, that's not a bad ideal, since that squad would be pretty static and it would save me some points. Teach me more!
