I could swap Quickdraw to Backdraft with VI and primed thrusters instead of Trick shot. Duchess could be swapped to Countdown or some academies to act as blockers?

Whisper is fine.

Duchess with a different EPT. Saving points by changing Quickdraw would open up options for Duchess. Crack Shot or VI if you're looking at 1-point EPT's. I fly Duchess with Lone Wolf. She's my go-to flanker.

Backdraft with Predator and Collision Detector instead of VI amd Primed Thrusters. Saves a point, and gives you rerolls on all attacks.

I've been sold to put Expertise on anything that has FCS, but I'm not sure you have the points for expensive EPTs on this list.

I tend to enjoy Trick Shot on Strikers, only because they tend to wind up in slightly unexpected angles anyways, considering how limited their pre-move adjustment is.

Have all your ships at PS9, just to have PS9, is generally not worth it -- you're better off focusing on better upgrades in the long run... especially since the same high PS isn't all that valuable against plenty of lists out there (Ghosts, K-Wings, non-Fenn Scum lists, etc...).
