Nose is also good.
Especially for biting...

Oh, also, chokes can take a bit of time. It's a lot easier to destroy a joint.
Bas Rutten told an awesome story about some hecklers at a seminar of his laughing at a rear naked choke. The hecklers apparently said that they could easily get out of the choke by poking out his eyes. Bas told them, "Okay, I want to try this out, so let me put you in the choke and when you try to poke me, I'm going to snap your neck."
I'm not sure I understand the point, if someone if going to try to choke me out on the street why would I assume that he won't try to break my neck regardless of whether I try to get out of the hold or not? Something might or might not be successful against something else but I think your odds are a lot better then doing nothing.
It is hype. MMA, is effective if you are lucky enough to be fighting one guy, on a relatively soft surface and are bigger, stronger, faster and have the drop on the guy... I was in a "rear naked choke"; when the guy passed out from bloodloss or pain i am not sure, as his buddies swarmed me and got him out of their, after having his ear ripped off... End of story.
I call BS on the "break your neck" story. The point of the rear naked choke isn't to break someone's neck, in fact it would be a poor position to break someone's neck, and I can tell you that it would take about 5 seconds to put someone out if you have your hook in and you are deep. The rear naked choke has absolutely nothing to do with choking the airway but rather choking the blood supply. It doesn't allow the blood to leave the brain and so the brain shuts down.
"BJJ is worthless" Roll with me on the mat for tens minutes and we'll see if you still feel the same after words.
