Getting in and out of Victoria Coach station from LHR could be significantly more of a pain ... with two heavy suitcases I'd definitely go for the tube to Kings X and get the train to Loughborough.
I would go for this option too. Collect your bags, head for the arrivals lounge for breakfast/shower then get the Tube/train to Loughborough.
Having done something similar (although some years ago) this advice would have made my arrival much easier.
You can get a single from Kings X from £15 upwards depending on the time you need to travel:
