Which of these you would prefer and why?

1) These spammers evoke laughter many a time.

2) Many a time, these spammers evoke laughter.

Also, is it 'many a time' or 'many a times'?

Number 2 sounds better to me, but there is nothing wrong with 1.

The difference between "many a time" and "many a times" is that "many a times" doesn't exist. You can't put the article "a" before a plural noun.
