I like the second list as devastators are a bit meh and those thunderfire cannons are great.

No need for extra storm bolter as the rhino is going to die very early on and it wont make a significant difference if any.

Use the points and some more from removing the heavy bolter on the scouts, and maybe a few of those combi gravs in the tacticals to get the quad gun on the bastion. This with the two storm talons should provide some decent anti air.

I agree devastators are not the best but with imperial fist doctrines ie tank hunter, and the large amount of wave serpents, hell drakes ect.. They are not a bad choice.

I remember hashing out test lists to try and maximize IF tactics. Been a while, but I think what I settled with was along the lines of:

Captain w/ Artificer, Relic Blade, Primarch's Wrath
Command Squad
-5x Plasma, Pod.

Tac Squad x10
-Pod
Tac Squad x10
-Pod
Tac Squad x10
-Pod

Devs x5
-4x LC
Devs x5
-4x LC
Devs x5
-4x LC, Pod

Stormtalon w/ Skyhammer
Stormtalon w/ Skyhammer

I don't like the idea of grav guns on non relentless models so I'd go with plasma in your tac squads
