I'd go with list 1.
-Librarian is great cheap HQ, and he gives you psychic support.
-10 man melta pods are great for scaring tanks, it restricts your opponent knowing that you could pop up anywhere and blow them to smithereens.
-Talon with Skyhammer is a great anti-flyer option (especially needed consider your lack of skyfire - which is not necessarily a bad thing)
-Grav cents are the tried and true of the annoying cheesiness.
-Don't know a lot about thunderfire cannons, but I have heard they can be effective.

What's the extra pod for? The devastators?

And when you state 'knight' what are you referring to precisely?

List 3 without the knight

HQ

Lysandar.

Librarian.

extra pod is for centurions and lysandar or librarian, knight is a knight paladin for the double battle cannon and cos I really like its ability to control the table

Last list uses the librarian with devastators as they now have access the divination and lysandar with the cents to tank wounds and scare off assaulting troops

It also has a bit more anti air for the 1-2 helldrakes that roam around in my meta

Oh yeah I like the librarian cos he is cheap however last game I had him with the cents and nuked himself turn one giving my opponent first blood and slay the warlord as we as killing one centurian and wounding another
