List one is the only one which includes enough troops for me.

Single GL vet squads and a bane-wolf are kind of strange.

It seems pretty good.

See thats what I thought too but they rarely ever do anything but sit on objectives and get wasted away by something stupid. I feel like I could get more firepower out of 2 pairs of sentinels that could let me not use my melta vets so aggresively. Or I could blob squad and give it a platoon and just give it orders the entire game. But with 2 medusas that could do a gak load of damage against pretty much anything. With an ap1 and an adding an extra d6 for armour penetration. This does only leave me with 3 scoring options it just means I have to protect them more.

Still thinking about the first list.

How about loosing the banewolf, adding 2 lascannon sentinels, then giving 2 more GL each to those vet squads?

If you're planning on sitting completely still, sniper rifles wouldn't be terrible, as the have 12" on all the other specials. I personally don't like them.
