In the Warhammer 40k universe many of the factions use cheap and expendable infantry in vast numbers to weigh down the enemy. So my question is which Cannon fodder troop would you like to be out of these 5 options?

For Tau I believe you're thinking of Kroot, atleast you should be. I completely fail to see the point of this poll though. We'd either be Imperial Guards or Cultists, since we're human.

Tau Gun Drone. For sure. I'm just there to absorb hits for the more important guys.
A Tau Shield Drone would attract more enemy firepower

I know I want to be a Tau, but I'd almost certainly be an Imperiel Guardsman, just because they're kinda useless.

who just wants a desk job.
Guard all the way, 'cause it takes some balls to wear a flak jacket and attack a World Eater with a light bulb

Guard all the way. Especially if it was as part of Gaunt's Ghosts serving under Colonel-Commissar Ibram Gaunt.

Hopefully the Tau auxiluaries include Kroot. I like Kroot, runnin' round with your riflestick, mauling people. Good times.

Most likely a Chaos cultist. Even though I'm not religious I do have the mindset of a 'true believer', so I'd probably feel right at home charging at the worshippers of the False Emperor in the name of my Gods before getting obliterated by a flashlight or a bolter shell.

Funny, at least 13 people want to be cannon fodder ;D
Well from the poll you've got a choice between:

Hideous monstrosity with no real mind of its own.
Corrupted human who is more than likely to be sacrificed and/or tortured to the Chaos Gods on the whims of the nearest Chaos Marine.
Flak jacket wearing, lightbulb wielding human.
Tiny green things that are likely to be fed to the nearest Squiggoth or be stepped on by a larger green thing.
Ugly aliens whose primary attack is a big stick/a small mechanical floating drone with a weapon system if you're very lucky.

I mean at least the Imperial Guard are still human. You're pretty much fucked no matter where you go.

Hmmm... out of those choices, seeing as I'm human (Apparently), I'd either be Imperial Guard or Tau Aux. Yes, they do recruit humans, so yes, there is a possible job to be had there.
If outside of those choices, there would be a very small chance that I'd be one of the Adeptus Sororitas...
But I'm probably not fanatical enough. And don't like burning things enough.

Ah but you see, that's not cannon fodder, that's a cannon looking for fodder. It's an easy mistake ^^

Plus, you forget that there is a system in place for advancement within the Guard. If you constantly move forward away from the commissar, take a position with some colleagues and use them as meat shields until the loud noise stops you'll be an officer in no time. Then you get to stay up the back and watch as the grunts cack themselves.

It's a cannon looking for fodder with a piece of cannon fodder in it. Besides, it's not even a cannon at all. He's clearly going to be using his sword against the enemy rather than the tanks weaponry as he's a real man.
