Here's a list I made of those dirty Rebel scum while I wait for my Imperial stuff to arrive in the mail.
Rebellion: 99pts
X-Wing: Wedge Antilles: 35 pts:
-R2-D2
-Expert Handling
B-Wing: Nera Dantels: 40 pts:
Fletchette Torpedos
-Proton Torpedos
-Heavy Laser Cannon
-Munitions Fail Safe
B-Wing: Blue Squadron Pilot: 25 pts
-Ion Cannon
What do you think? Should I drop Wedge for Corran Horn?

Corran Horn is a good choice, you just have to learn to use him. I prefer the PTL/R2-D2/Engine Upgrade/FCS variant.
Nera Dantels is a point sink at the moment, I would ditch the cannon and just focus on hoping to get your ordnance off before she dies. Deadeye is a must for the EPT slot, as it will let you fire your shots, even if you have a less than optimal chance without other modifiers.
Add FCS to your Bs instead of funky cannons.

Alright, looking through my cards, I do have a FCS. I didn't know they were so good! Question, if I have one official copy of an upgrade card can I simply write down that all three ships have that upgrade or do I need one upgrade card per ship?
Edit:
New List
E-Wing: Corran Horn 41 pts
R2-D2
FCS
B-Wing: Nera Dantels: 35 pts
-Munitions Failsafe
-FCS
-Proton Torpedoes
-Fletchette Torpedoes
B-Wing: Blue Squadron Pilot: 24 pts
-FCS
Total: 100 pts

If you're competing in an actual sanctioned tournament, you need one card for every incidence that it's included in your list.
For friendly games or unofficial events it's going to depend. I don't know of anyone who'd have an issue in a friendly game. In fact, as long as you've got a credible alternative (like a print out from a decent squad builder) most wouldn't insist on a card at all IME.

Really? Shoot. Oh, well, hopefully for a couple of games at the FLGS it should be fine. I'm maining Empire anyway.

Is there a reason in particular you want to run Nera Dantels? She's not a bad ship, per se, but she's not necessarily giving you much of a competitive edge, in that build anyway.
This could work, somewhat:
Corran Horn (35)
Push the Limit (3)
Fire-Control System (2)
R2-D2 (4)
Nera Dantels (26)
Deadeye (1)
Fire-Control System (2)
Extra Munitions (2)
Plasma Torpedoes (3)
Guidance Chips (0)
Blue Squadron Pilot (22)
Total: 100

I'm just working off of what I have, really. I was also think of running Corran Horn, Wedge and a regular B-Wing. Do you think that would work better?

Honestly, you might be better off with Coran, Biggs, and a B if you want to run those ships. Use Coran, PTL, R2-D2, and FCS, Biggs is really good, he gives protection to your other stuff, I'm not sure what you should give him for an astromech honestly unless you have R4-D6 from Rebel Transport, it's 1 point and makes him a great meatshield for Coran, and with Integrated Astromech, and if you want to use a Blue Squadron Pilot with FCS, guidance chips and Plasma Torpedoes. I don't know what you are missing from this mix, but it uses the ships you seem to want to take, and Biggs makes Coran stick around longer, which is good.

I think I'll run this list a few times with some print offs from the internet. It's at times like this when I realize how outdated my collection is. I am missing so much from the current meta...

still not sure B-Wings are that great currently, the heavy use of the Scurrg bomber means other lists will have answers to the Scurrg, most of which will also put the spank on B-Wings
also if you have Advanced Sensors use them over FCS on PTL Corran, he's a good ace but like all aces being blocked is death

How are regular X-Wings? I was considering running a list with Corran, Biggs, a rookie X-wing and maybe an el cheapo A-wing.

Normal X-Wings aren't great, they've just been overtaken by newer stuff, Biggs is still good as a shield, but that's about it. And T-70s aren't in much of a better place, Jess Pava is great, and Poe is pretty good, but even still, they're not great on the whole.

Maaaan. I really got to get me some K-wings. Or maybe a YT.

The Heroes of the Resistance is a good pack to get a YT. Automatically Appended Next Post: On the K-Wings... wait until the FAQ hits. That ship is just about ready to become a missile carrier with empty bomb slots.
