Do I go with anti-paladin, barbarian, or ranger with favored enemy: orc? What archetype should I take? Feats up to 8th level?
This is an eighth level human hell bent on the destruction of orcs and all traces of their culture. She will spare none, not even children, and has no compunctions about large scale destruction, such as chemical weapons, and does not care about non-orc collateral damage.
Anti-pally. We all know you're coo-coo for Paladins; go with what you love!

Yes. How about a former paladin who got too zealous in her crusade against the evil orcs, and ended up falling from grace and becoming the very monster she fights against? I like it.
why not ranger 1 barbX
I like this. ranger 2 barb X could be considered to, due to the first combat style feat and an extra +1 to ref and fort.
Anti-paladin is a problem due to smite good.
Pure ranger is always a solid choice, but I'm biased towards rangers as they are my favorite class.
Inquisitor should be also considered: they fit the role and seems like a lot of fun to play.

Inquisitor or ranger sounds good. As for the ranger/barbarian, I do not play multiclass characters unless they are gestalts.
rogue (favored terrain) / horizon walker (terrain dominance)
you just need to make sure than all the orcs you encounter are native to the same terrain
Or Musket Master (if GM likes gunslingers), nothing says "I hunt you" like a big fragging gun pointed at you.

Ranger is by far the best way to go especially at 8th level. If he takes favored enemy orc at 1st and 5th then he will have +4 to hit and damage on every orc (I imagine half orcs count too). He gets favored terrains and can choose terrains common to orcs (or local orcs) to give him other bonuses. (note the skill bonuses for terrain and enemy stack).
He has full base attack bonus and can use a bow to decimate them at long ranges (the bonuses to perception can let him see them further than they can see him).
With a good str and a composite bow plus all the bow feats he could be awesome. if he gets caught in hand to hand he just needs a 2H weapon and power attack.
If you are focused on destroying one race the ranger is where it is at.
You got something against Dwarves? They have racial hatred of Orcs!

sure, they always hide under their false beards and real sideburns, but they're there, hiding in plain sight!

I have. Have you seen the racial AND trait bonuses they can score vs orcs? Just roll with it. Maybe some half orc kid called her "Her Royal Thickness" and she embarked on a campaign of orcish genocide.
Ranger all the way. Rangers are good general warriors to begin with. Favored Enemy makes them a killing machine.
The real build should be determined by terrain. For instance, a mounted ranger on the plains will be ungodly effective.
Be a Dwarven Ranger Archer.
You will rockzor their boxxorz. Seriously. If all enemies you will encounter are of one type your way to go is Ranger.
Get Boon Companion with a Wolf and then use it as your mount/protector while you stack your favoured enemy and hatred enemy into the sky and slaughter everything in your path.
