Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
I feel choice band is the only good set, if you think specially defensive or curse are good at all, I will need to use them since I have no experience with them.
[Overview]
The once mighty king of older generations has fallen but is still useful
Special bulk and thick fat and high attack still allow it to be a powerful special tank
Can take on many special threats in the metagame and trap them like tyranitar, making it a boon to non-sand teams
Lack of resistances and recovery hurts
[SET]
name: Choice Band
move 1: Return
move 2: Pursuit
move 3: Earthquake
move 4: Fire Punch / Wild Charge (maybe Crunch)
item: Choice Band
ability: Thick Fat
nature: Adamant
evs: 72 HP / 252 Atk / 184 SpD
[SET COMMENTS]
Functions similarly to Tyranitar on sun or weatherless teams being able to trap and kill Latios, Latias, Gengar, Starmie, and Reuniclus
It can also counter Heatran and Volcarona, and check nearly every special attacker
Choice Band adds a needed attack boost to grantee many KOs and successfully trap things
return is a needed stab
Pursuit is a must to trap and kill stuff
Wild Charge is for Gengar and Jellicent
The last slot takes down steels and rocks
Earthquake for Tyranitar, and Heatran, and Terrakion
Fire punch can be useful on sun teams, and gets a neat chance at a 2HKO on Skarm, it also defends off against Ferrothorn, and Forretress
[Additional Comments]
EVs focused on attack first to hit stuff, then special defense to take special hits much better
The special bulk gained from focusing in special defense is needed, for example with this spread Snorlax avoids a 2HKO from specs-Latios Drago Meteor
Body slam > Return for paralysis chance, but the loss in power is rarely worth it
Crunch to outright kill Gengar
Superpower, self destruct, and double edge (gotta test em all)
Snorlax doesn't appreciate passive damage from opposing weathers, so rain or sun support is useful
Sweepers that like the pokemon snorlax can trap out of the way love snorlax, for example venusaur likes Latios, and Latias out of the way
Defensive teams also like starmie and gengar trapped and killed to prevent spin blocking and spinning
Snorlax can't take boosted water hits, and it dreadfully weak against fighting types, so Celebi and Amoonguss make excellent partners
rapid spin support is useful to help it stick around longer
Wish support is cool, but the only wisher that doesn't compete with the same role is Vaporeon
snorlax appreciates rocks up to get many KOs and make some passive damage by forcing out pokemon, rocks also helps to kill of Volc which could otherwise fish for burns

item: Leftovers

evs: 188 HP / 104 Def / 216 SpD (idk about this)
[SET COMMENTS]
[Additional Comments]
Evs prevent 3HKO from specs Jolteon (why I am unsure about the legitimacy of the spread in the current meta)
Crunch
Double edge
Pursuit support
Cleric support
[Other Options]
Retaliate can get up to a scary 140 base attack after an ally dies, but snorlax lacks the speed to use it
Rock slide garantees a 1HKO on Volcarona, but it already 2HKOs it and everything else
fire blast
rest talk with body slam / whirlwind / rest / sleep talk is neat to phase, but the special attacks are to strong and the lack of good recovery hurts
Snorlax has belly drum, but there are to many strong attackers in the meta and rest is to unreliable for it to be used
Immunity can be useful vs toxic spikes teams and avoid poison from toxic, but toxic spikes are uncommon and the resistance gained from thick fat is to good to pass up
[Checks and Counters]
Without fire punch, Skarm, Ferrothorn, Forretress say hi
Easily crippled with burn or poison
Heatran, Tyranitar, and Terrakion without earthquake
Gliscor, with Intimidate Gyarados, and Hippowdon are solid counters
Jellicent can come in and cripple with wisp
Once locked into a move many things can come in, almost any fighting type can revenge
Definitely mention that Stealth Rock is necessary to OHKO Volcarona, as the bulky set can take a Choice Band Return and, thus, force Snorlax to gamble on burn chances. To show:
63.9% - 75.5% - before burn
31.8% - 38% - after burn
Which means Volcarona can Roost off the Return a couple of times and Quiver Dance if Snorlax is burnt. Granted, you likely have checks that can outspeed it and KO it after a Quiver Dance, but the damage output from Return after a burn is kind of scary. You just have to be faster than Tornadus-T, which leaves a handful of Scarfers and... Jolteon... and Weavile I guess.
I think pairing it with Rain and Vaporeon is probably your best bet. You can gain Wish passing if warranted, or even have Vaporeon carry Heal Bell to cure burns from Snorlax. I don't see how Jirachi is a terrible partner, though.
I personally believe that CB set is not Snorlax's best set in OU. Snorlax has a massive movepool, and being choice-locked hinders its versatility. Some sort of tankish non-choiced set should work, whether it be an all-out attacker with Self-Destruct or 3 atk + Counter / Whirlwind / Curse / Block / Refresh / Yawn, etc. I'd like you to test a non-choiced version of Snorlax.
Leftovers is a good option for any non-choiced lax, but Chople Berry does sound good for tanking fighting moves with ease. It can probably even run 3 atk + Chesto Rest to replenish its health. Its movepool has great coverage enough to make good use of Expert Belt. Pink Bow is good to power its STAB moves, namely Self-D. Going "mixed" with Fire Blast to roast Skarmory is always nice.
Thanks to Snorlax's colossal HP, it does not mind Double-Edge's recoil (relatively speaking, it's not going to cripple itself like Darmanitan), especially if its holding Leftovers. Body Slam is also a fine STAB alternative to slow down opponent, which helps with Lax's low Speed. Body Slam and Double-Edge are both superior to Return on Lax, imo.
So yea, play around with non-choiced Lax sets to fully explore its potential in OU. I would chip in whenever I have a chance to test it out.
P.S.: Concerning the CB set:
Make Wild Charge the primary 3rd move - as discussed in CB Stoutland's analysis, Wild Charge provides better neutral coverage than Pursuit, and most Ghost-types are hit hard(er) by Wild Charge anyways; Wild Charge OHKOs Gengar after SR damage 62.5% of the time. Hitting Skarmory and bulky Water-types for super-effective damage is a definite plus.
Superpower > EQ imo, since it hits many more things for neutral / super-effective damage. Hitting Ferrothorn, Blissey, and TTar harder is superior to hitting Jirachi for super-effective damage, imo.
Also no mention of Self-D on its choiced set? Despite the nerf, a STAB Self-D will hurt!
Change the EV spread to 72 HP / 252 Atk / 184 SpD; this provides very similar special defensiveness while the extra HP will allow it to take physical hits better.
Ok Ill make the changes easily of the first 2 posts.
@ Pocket
Ok Im currently testing out a bulk tank set with leftovers, I quickly realized it doesn't play anything like the choice band set, definitely worth its own set. Im also testing out a sleep talk set, its ok but it requires a ton of team support, having a cleric with it is mandatory. I can see its merits though for phasing, but at the end of the battle I am left wondering, "Why I am not using Chansey or Blissey here." Again I need to play test it more. Curse is something I also need to test out. Ill leave all the sets in skeleton form here to see any input.
To be honest Im not sure about chople and expert belt, I could play with it though. I don't think fire blast is worth it though, if you really insist on 2HKOing skarm, use CB fire punch or fire punch in the sun. Ill add it to OO though.
Yeah I see the benefits of double edge, with leftovers it is worth the recoil. Although Im unsure about the CB set because it has all the power it needs, and the recoil would still really hurt, I can only think of a few things you could get a KO on, I will test it though for sure.
Wild charge does seem overall better, I honestly never thought of it. Crunch still has the benefits of outright killing Gengar, not messing around with pain split shenanigans, it also helps on a few other more uncommon ghosts, Sableye for example, so it still stays AC.
Im really against superpower though as a main option though. Sure its great against everything outside of Jirachi, but generally CB snorlax is solution for CM Jirachi as a glue for teams that use him. I mean unless you have something else for CM Jirachi, I wouldn't suggest it. Fire punch is right next to it because on sun teams, fire punch is stronger and you have ninetails for Jirachi. I could test it, but honestly I don't see it working. Self destruct is interesting, but Im having a hard time seeing where it can be used.
The spread seems reasonable, about a 1% loss of spD for about 3% gain in defense. :)
I think the EV's for both Choice Band and the Leftovers varients should be 40 HP / 252 Atk / 40 Def / 176 SpD like the old analysis. It survives a Band'd Stone Edge iirc which is still prevalent in the current metagame, and it still isn't 2HKO'd by Latios Draco Meteor, so the minor EV adjustment is worth it imo.
If there is any point in time the Curse set has been viable in 5th gen, it is now (so important I put it in bold). Tornadus-T has surpressed every single Fighting type basically out of OU besides Techniloom and Terrakion. Mienshao, Scrafty, and Virizion have all fallen out of OU and Conkeldurr to an extent. This makes it much easier for Snorlax to actually work and much easier to cover his weaknesses. I believe with one Curse Tornadus-T can not 2HKO with Superpower. He makes an excellent bulky sweeper on balanced teams as well an excellent sponge. In homage to the Skarmory-Tentacruel-Blissey core that often finds itself on stall teams, I have been using a Skarmory-Tentacruel-Snorlax core. Toxic Spikes is quite handy for those pesky Jellicent's and Tyranitars.
Bar none I think its best partner is defensive Celebi. Snrolax covers those pesky Ice and Fire weaknesses while Celebi defends against Breloom and Terrakion (to an extent). If Snorlax finds himself on Rest but can't wake up in time, just find an oppurtunity to get Celebi in and Heal Bell.
IMO Earthquake>Fire Punch. Gengar and Steel types are far easier to remove than Tyranitar, which is grossly overused. With the amount of rain running around, Fire Punch will be rather limited. It also compromises Snorlax's ability to check SubCM Jirachi in the rain. Crunch is kinda meh since Jellicent will be using Taunt+Will-o-Wisp to take you down, meaning you can't Crunch on the turn you wake up from Rest (that is the turn where you are impossible to be burned). Speaking of steel types, that another great reason to partner Celebi up with Snorlax since it can mess with Ferrothorn. No Leech Seed recovery+repeated Earthquake means it will be dying a slow and frustrating death.

The EVs is up for debate - it's ~67% biased towards special defense. I should probably run some calcs, though.

You should keep CB and axe every other set, since they're really bad in BW OU. Restalk got slammed by the mechanics change and is just a weak set in general and you will never successfully pull off a curse sweep in gen V. Physical attackers hit too hard (hell a good amount of Special Attackers "hit Snorlax too hard" like Psychock Latios). The tank set isn't necessarily bad, but I feel that's an (inferior) extension to the CB. It was good when Selfdestruct didn't suck, but now it's slash material at best. Snorlax as a whole isn't particular good in BW, and CB is the only set that allows it to keep up with the current metagame. I think there's a better spread out there, but i've got nothing for now so you'll have to wait on it.
Choice Band:
The moveset order should look like this:
-Return
-Pursuit
-Earthquake
-Fire Punch / Crunch
Earthquake is non-negotiable. You'll need it if you want to to get meaningful damage on things like Tyranitar, Heatran, etc so having it slashed is a bad idea. Fire Punch is almost as important, since it gets useful coverage on things like Ferrothorn & Forretress. I don't think slashing it with Wild Charge on the other hand is kind of a weak option and it has recoil. Crunch also targets Jellicent, and WC' isn't actually useful against Skarmory since it'll stall you out. Put it in AC, along with Body Slam.
Yeah Ill get rid of sleep talk, the special attackers in the meta are too strong to be messing with rest like that.
The "tank" set is pretty solid I have to say though, instead of firing off boosted attacks it goes more on the path of a pivot, a glue of sorts, that works greatly to spread paralysis or damage. At the very least that and CB should be in the analysis.
Im not to sure about Pockets set, ill have to give it a go myself before I say anything, it looks interesting though.
Curse takes a bit of team support to pull off in this meta, but it still can work. I really want to play with it more because I feel that is may still be an acceptable set.
On the note of earthquake, I do agree with you on earthquake as a main slash, its a bit of my bias towards Gengar that made me think you could run without it...Not to sure about wild charge though. For now will keep it as a slash until further input.
Edit: After looking at the numbers, Princess's Bri's set is interesting, although it doesn't exactly avoid a 2HKO from Latios's draco meteor, it actually adds a slim chance. Im not sure its worth the toss up.
I think that the Curse set has a lot of merit, and is a good set in this meta, provided you give it the right support. In theory it is a a Blissey with less special bulk, no reliable recovery, more resistances, and respectable offensive presence, along with a good boosting move. So if Blissey is usable, it can't be that bad right?
Being able to wall Volcarona in Sun even better than Blissey, and being able to actually counter any Volcarona and Latias out there (the blobs lose to ChestoRest Rona and Refresh Latias) is something no other poke can boast. Also it is able to tank hits from the most powerful special attackers in the tier, such as non-Psyshock Latios, Heatran (in sun), Rotom-W in rain and Specs Politoed, so this makes it as a great all around check to any many weather special attackers. For this reason Curse Lax fits best in weather-less balanced teams, imo.
After walling all those stuff, it can either start boosting with Curse or fire off a Body Slam on the incoming fighters, such as Terrakion, possibly paralyzing them, and screwing them for the rest of the match. After the strong physical attackers and the physical walls have been eliminated from the opponent's side, Snorlax is very hard to stop, as even at +1 every non fighting-type poke struggles to OHKO. CB Haxorus is the only non-fighting poke that comes close to ohkoing Snorlax after a boost, doing 85.49 - 100.76% (6.25% chance to ohko). This is a super effective 120 BP attack from a CB poke with 147 Base Attack... This speaks for itself!
The set i have been using is 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 SpD with a Careful nature, and a moveset of Curse / Body Slam / EQ / Rest. Curse is obvious, while Body Slam is the best option by far, as it allows Snorlax to cripple all those strong physical attackers that want to abuse Snorlax in the early game. Unless someone shows some important ohkoes that Return gets vs some important targets, i think that Body Slam should be alone in the 2nd slot and Return should go to AC. For the third move i prefer EQ, so i can quickly dispose of Heatran, Tyranitar and Terrakion if i need to, as well as counter non-Psyshock CM Jirachi's in rain. Fire Punch is nice move to hit Scizor, Ferrothorn and Forretress and Skarmory, but those mons are generally way less threatening than the ones that EQ hits, and you should already have something else to take care of the hazards setters, as Snorlax's main job is to wall special attackers and attempt a sweep late game, not trying to eliminate hazard setters on the switch. But anyway both deserve to be in the 3rd slot, but i think that EQ should be slashed first. Then Rest goes in the last slot, to give Snorlax a way of recovery, and allow him to sweep late-game, when everything that hits hard from the physical side is eliminated, so that you can actually stall out the sleep turns. Max HP and SpD are a must imo, as Snorlax's main role is to wall speciall attackers, and the physical side is going to be boosted anyway.
As far as teammates go, pokes to handle all the strong physical attackers that Snorlax attracts are a must. Heal Bell support i also a godsend for Snorlax, and makes him so much more effective. For those reasons physically defensive Celebi is one of the best partners for Snorlax, as it cehcks/counters most fighters, while also providing Heal Bell support. Slowbro is no slouch either, as he can eat any fighter for breakfast, as well as check any physical dragon.
I will be adding some logs of Curse Lax in action day by day... Here is what i have so far:

Please axe every set BAR Choice Band. I honestly believe that its really the best option Snorlax has in this current metagame, and its other sets are mediocre at best.
Bad to see CurseLax go, as it was a very solid mon when i used it, as long as you knew WHY to use it. It is one of the few mons that can counter Volcarona without getting trapped by Dugtrio, while also checking Venusaur like a boss after something takes the Sleep Power. All in all it was a very solid mon to use in a sun team (countering Lati@s is amazing for Sun teams too), or in a weatherless team that wanted something to handle Sun (which most weatherless teams have problem with). Imo it is not worth using in Sand, because it takes aways your only means of recovery outside of Rest, and in Rain you can't really wall all those double STAB special water moves flying around.
My problem with CBLax being the only set, is that not all players would want an offensive Snorlax, as many balanced and stall weather-less or sun teams would love the defensive variant.
Anyway as i don't have nor the time nor the energy to go through the effort of convincing the QC about CurseLax by providing logs and some convincing long ass posts, i may try to pass it through QC as a sole set somewhen in the future.
EDIT: Just something interesting i found... Check out how those teams (French Orgy with Belzebuth, Lysergic Acid Diethylamide, Eruption), which are the best sun teams of BW1, are swept from CurseLax (while also getting walled by him for the most part ) once just one poke goes down (CBNite in Eruption, CB Terrakion in Stone Cold's team), or even with zero pokes down in the case of the French Orgy team. No other poke can do this to Sun teams, and is the main reason why CurseLax deserves a set.
