And alternatively I run the same list without the missile launcher dev squad, i replace two lascannons with flak missiles in the second squad, and take a dark eldar ally with the Baron as the hq and a base squad of kabalite warriors to help get first turn.

I like the second list, but I'm not a fan of the scouts with sniper rifles in this case. Once your main scoring troops are on the ground, they aren't very mobile... such is the plight of the drop pod lists. I would consider using a land speeder storm with heavy flamer and some bolter or close combat scouts in it for deep striking late game (hopefully) to steal an objective or two. One of those rings in at about 100 points, so it should be a fairly even trade, albeit lighter on bodies...

I also think the drop pod squads should load up on as many special weapon shots as they can so your initial strike has more impact. Perhaps you can find some points to give the sgts combis to match the meltas in the units? Also, when combat squadding on the drop you'll be able to have one squad put out 2 melta shots and a crack grenade, and the other focus on troops with bolter shots and another crack grenade. and even screen a charge? Either way, combis may be a good idea, or at least melta bombs for those MCs.

Can the skyshield be outfitted up with any weapons?
