I don't play tournaments at 1000 points, but the name of the game is typically to spam as many mortal wounds as you can, maximize summons, and have enough bodies to hold objectives.
I think your second list idea would be much stronger from a power gaming approach, though I'd even toy with the idea of splitting the plague bearers into 20 and 20 because they are now both equally viable to hold an objective, where as the 30 and 10 means that one is not going to last very long and be able to hold.
Bearing in mind that our summoning is skewed strongly in our favor at 1000 points since it doesn't scale very well, you can then fairly easily get another unit of plague bearers on the table to hold another objective late-game.
