Looks great, but 'Sanguinary Guard' and 'competitive' don't really fit in the same sentence.
They just die too quickly to AP2 weaponry, which are pretty common. Grav-guns are found in every SM list and MC's can be found behind every corner.

You could improve their survability by adding another Priest. Jump Pack should be enough, let the Guard do all the killing.
And even if it's tempting to add a lot of uprgades to them, it's rarely ever worth it.
You want to make a Dante-bomb? I get it. But why wouldn't you just drop the Honour Guard next to the biggest tank and land behind LoS-block to either take down light infantry or just hide until you charge next turn.

If you drop those 6 Infernus pistols next to a Land Raider, you will destroy it.
Just remember that guys inside a LR are very often capable to tear a new one to your squad of 600 points...
When I play SG, I sometimes buy a Power Fist. Maybe a pistol of some kind. In some rare occasions I might concider the Banner.

And btw, your points are bit off. Furioso with HF and Pod should be 170 points.

Indeed, Sang. Guard has been taken to several events and it hasn't done very well.
I'd take Assault Marines as a core. More bodies, two special weapons (of the same type) in one squad.

Ah yes. I added them last min. Forgot to add the points.

I know I know. They don't. Just want "as competitive as possible" Dante bomb is just the "o shet, that ______ needs to die" insurance. Lol

The point of your post was to make a competitive list with blood angels, nowhere in it did you specify you wanted to use all sang guard models. Sang guard + competitive should never be in the same sentence unless that sentence is describing what not to take.

Drop the honour guard and take the Sanguinor and other upgrades for extra goldness!

Honour Guard benefits this list far more, allowing both Dreads to come down on turn 1 and adding AT.
