Also, and this is something Im sure youre aware of, if theres any kind of bowfire on the other side you'll be shredded as all your troops are D4!
Id say list 3 would be cool. Always like seeing mahud and a bo'sun would be a bit of a waste alongside the shade (at least in my mind).
These last 2 points are very important, (I don't have any experience with shades).
You'll probably want some kinda protection from bowfire (slow movement, low defence), or else you will be absolutely shredded before you reach combat (believe me I've had this happen many times with Corsairs), and to make it worse because you're going for more expensive Reavers your model count has suffered aswell.
I would suggest either a screening unit of either throwaway Orcs/Haradrim, or something with a higher defence, e.g. Mahud or Orcs with shields. Or you could use something like the Shadowlord.
The second point is also true. The Bo'Sun is a bit useless unless you have mostly Corsairs, as in this case he'll only help the Reavers, not the Watchers.
The Mahud King is useful, but without Suladan you're gonna be running quicker than I don't know what once you're broken, which my be quite quick with the low defence of the Reaver and Watchers. Don't expect the Bo'Sun to hang around either, you might be better swapping him for a Captain.
Not meaning to be too critical, but I think the points Gildor made were worth elaborating.
