for me it depends on what the squad/s in question will be doing... if their going to start on-table & provide fire support, then i give my infantry heavy bolters. but if their going to deep strike, then why bother with heavy weapons as at best i might get 1 shooting phase out of them?!?
also, if you plan on using say a platoon as mobile infantry, then again, why buy them a heavy weapon they're likely to only fire once or twice a game?!

so bsically, i don't dish out the big guns to my troops unless they are reliably going to sit still for at least 5 turns!

cheers!
