A more Areivim-esque answer, just telling you what I do (as opposed to
what ought to be done):

Much of my maggid is in English, for the simple reason that I'm not
discussing or teaching anyone anything if I stuck to the original
Hebrew. 

However, pesuqim I make sure to say in both languages. With sheim
Hashem.

To get to the Avodah piece:
I think the problem is that we have an unnatural lack of use of sheim
Hashem when quoting pesuqim. The question isn't whether we should use a
qinui during maggid, it's whether we should stop using so many qinuyim
during other learning!

Tir'u baTov!
