So in my 2k army list I have a good mix of infantry (vets and 2 platoons)
But for my heavy and fast attack I was going to run 1 Plasmacutioner and 2 Exterminators (auto cannons) with HB sponsons on each. Then have 3 Vendettas for my fast attack choice.
My sponsons on the tanks haven't been super reliable so I decided to drop them off which left me with 60pts left over. So I decided to drop one of the Vendettas and take another Executioner.
Good idea, Great idea, Bad idea?

Well, its a matter of who you play. If you find yourself playing hordes armies, then might want to drop the 'detta and go with the Executioner. But if you find yourself with someone who has a lot of air, MEQ, or MC, then go with the 'detta.
Whats your full list anyways?

This is what I run against my friend's space marines. HQ CCS+MoO+Lascannon Team 100 Lord Commissar (vanilla) 70 Elites Marbo 65 Ratlings x5 50 Troops PCS: Plas Pist + Plas Gunx3, Medic 115 Guardsman x20+ 2GL 100 PCS: Power Axe, 4 Flamers Guardsman x20+ 2GL 100 Heavy Weapons: Lascannons x3 105 Vet Squad: Meltas x3, Grenadiers 130 Vet Squad: Meltas x3, Grenadiers 130 Fast Attack Vendetta x2 260 Heavy Support Leman Russ Exterminatorx2 300 Leman Russ Executioner x2 380 I keep my Lascannons next to the CCS for bring it down or fire on my target. The MoO isn't the most effective unit, it my friend always has an aegis def line with his HQ so keeping him nervous is always fun.

I think that any non-ordnance russ should get sponsons. The extra firepower really helps out. I'm surprised that you don't give plasma to your executioners, the plasma really helps cook the enemy. Who cares if you have a small change of cooking your crew? This is the Guard.
I would probably cut the medic for another plasma gun, although that stems from my general "guns>lives" philosophy. I would rather have a better alpha strike than possibly save a man,

I like the idea of dropping the medic in favor of another Gun, I think I might end up doing that.
I just haven't got much use out of my sponsons, so I figured one more executioner is worth the trade off of not having them on there. Plus that gives me another unit that I can roll around with and disrupt my friends happiness. He has a few bikes with multi-meltas that run around and try to pop my tanks, so getting rid of them is a priority for me usually.
