I'm of the opinion that more flesh hounds is always better, but at 750 points, KDK are a bit awkward. I might even say I like your second list better, if only because of the extra tithes you'll get, and if you save them for a late game unit of flesh hounds, you could turn the tides around. I'd use the 8 points to give your cultists autoguns.

The list I went with at 750 points was:

CAD
Chaos Lord w/Axe of Khorne, juggernaut, sigil, 175
8 Cultists w/autoguns, 66
8 Cultists w/autoguns, 66
1 Spawn, 32

Gorepack:
Bikers w/ 2 meltas, melta bombs, 101
Bikers w/ 2 meltas, melta bombs, 101
8 Flesh hounds, 128
5 Flesh hounds, 80

I won with this list against a mediocre Necron list, but I feel if I had gone against a more competitive list I would've wanted that one extra summoned unit provided by a bloodhost detachment. I'm just not sure if that's with the possessed tax, though. I wish I'd had a soul grinder though, those look awesome.

Just food for thought, I like your lists (plus autoguns, as mentioned).
