Considering he said 'Chapter' I'm not sure why you guys are suggesting any first foundings at all, as they were all Legions pre-heresy, and for the Traitors, still are... Then again, maybe not everyone is as much a pre-heresy/fluff nut as I am.(see Nano.. I can play the semantics game too, fun eh?).
But, if we're speaking in just best shooty army for marines... I'd say the best isn't a pure strain army.
It's Slaanesh Noise Marines and Termies combined with 1k Sons troops and a Slaanesh Sorc w/ Lash, and perhaps a second tzeentch daemon prince/lord with some of the stock and standard powers there. Perhaps two sorcs w/ lash.
The ability to shoot nearly anything and deny it a save, as well as the ability to move those nice juicy units out of cover and wherever you want w/ lash... It just hurts to think about it.
