Help me decide on imperiql squad

By SmartCookie, in X-Wing

I'm currently trying to improve my skills flying a TIE swarm with an Interceptor flanker. I've settled on Turr Phennir as the flanker as I find his ability extremely powerful.

Which of the following three lists would you pick, and why?

Turr Phennir (25)

Push the Limit (3)

"Howlrunner" (18)

Black Squadron Pilot (14)

Veteran Instincts (1)

Black Squadron Pilot (14)

Veteran Instincts (1)

Academy Pilot (12)

Academy Pilot (12)

OR

Turr Phennir (25)

Push the Limit (3)

"Howlrunner" (18)

"Backstabber" (16)

Black Squadron Pilot (14)

Academy Pilot (12)

Academy Pilot (12)

OR

Turr Phennir (25)

Push the Limit (3)

Stealth Device (3)

"Mauler Mithel" (17)

Obsidian Squadron Pilot (13)

Obsidian Squadron Pilot (13)

Obsidian Squadron Pilot (13)

Obsidian Squadron Pilot (13)

I tend to like the first one the most. However, Howlrunner is very vulnerable with no upgrades and is target #1. I would tend to drop one black to an AP, and then switch VI for DTF on the second and give Howl stealth. Idea is to go with more passive Defense than go for the PS bid to try and drop a ship before it fires. Either one is good, give it a whirl and test them for yourself.

id give turr VI personally, if your going to take PtL and SD just take Soontir. Give howl either SD or PtL so she can focus evade, and Blacks are better with DtF.

None of the above.

I'd either take the first one but exchange VI for DtF on the BSP or the last and lose the Stealth Device and upgrade to Howlrunner and a BSP+DTF. May also take the 3 point upgrade you're giving to Turr and give it to Howlrunner instead.
