I was mostly thinking of rockslide and other super effective moves if I am swapping In, but I will definitely be doing the life orb (makes much more sense on talonflame rather than garchomp)

My thoughts exactly. Your Garchomp has four attacks, as opposed to your Talonflame which has 3 and Tailwind. Because it has Tailwind, I wouldn't saddle it with a Choice Band or Choice Scarf, lest you be locked into Tailwind. Conversely, the Garchomp has four physical moves, so something like Choice Band, Choice Scarf, or even an Assault Vest might work more in your favor.
