Help me decide what list to run

So after going 0-3 at the last lock and load, ive decided to run more infantry and less beasts.

I’m more of a painter than a player though, so ultimately this may come down to what looks better for me.

List 1: skorne masters of alpha strike
A fairly straight forward list, using 2x max cats, tycoms.
Beasts:hydra, gladiator, support lights
Caster xerces 2
Basically just run everything forward and feat on the alpha. It’s probably been done before but it has some appeal.

List 2: Aztec doom - disciples of agony
Caster: undecided, probably still x2
Units: nihliators, gatorman posse, pain giver task masters, siege animantarax
Beasts: can’t decide between dracodile and hydra, plus support lights. More of a varied comp emphasizing utility over alpha strike.

Both have pluses and minuses, and I’m not sure what I want to go with. Also if I run list 2, I can’t decide whether to do hydra or dracodile. Both would mean building and painting. I would tend to favor the hydra still, just because I rarely saw it at the last lock and load, and it can go in lists other than disciples of agony.
