On the matter of the number of Orcs killed by Aragorn, I believe the number to be in excesses of Húrin's 70. The stand at Moria, then at Amun Súl, the again at Helm's deep, , then again in front of the gates of Mordor itself.

However Orcs, as men have, dwindled in size and strength throughout the ages (with the exception of the Uruk Hai which were killed by Aragorn) which means Húrin's Orcs were much "tougher" than Aragorn's.
