Trying to pick a list for a tournament

I am trying to pick a list for a tournament in my area next week. The two I've played with are as follows:

General Veers 80
Commanding Presence, Esteemed Leader, 
Stormtroopers 44
DLT-19 Stormtrooper, Impact Grenades, 
Stormtroopers 44
DLT-19 Stormtrooper, Impact Grenades, 
Stormtroopers 44
DLT-19 Stormtrooper, 
Stormtroopers 44
DLT-19 Stormtrooper, Impact Grenades, 
Snowtroopers 48
Flametrooper, Concussion Grenades, 
Snowtroopers 48
Flametrooper, Concussion Grenades, 
74-Z Speeder Bikes 90

74-Z Speeder Bikes 90

74-Z Speeder Bikes 90

798/800

Or:

General Veers 80
Esteemed Leader, 
Stormtroopers 44
DLT-19 Stormtrooper, Stormtrooper, 
Stormtroopers 44
DLT-19 Stormtrooper, Stormtrooper, 
Stormtroopers 44
DLT-19 Stormtrooper, Stormtrooper, 
Snowtroopers 48
Flametrooper, Snowtrooper, 
Snowtroopers 48
Flametrooper, Snowtrooper, 
Stormtroopers 44
DLT-19 Stormtrooper, 
AT-ST 195
General Weiss, 88 Twin Light Blaster Cannon, AT-ST Mortar Launcher, DW-3 Concussion Grenade Launcher, 
 

800/800

I've played the AT-ST list which was a lot of fun but I'll ask for advice here.

Veers + 6 Corps + 3 Bikes (your first list) is, in my opinion, one of (if not the) most competitive and damaging Imperial lists. I'd go for that one, personally. Meta right now is very heavily skewed towards activations, that one gives you two more.

Your first list is very similar to the one I've been using to great effect, except I only own one unit of snowies, so I use an extra dlt unit, and I swapped most of the grenades for long range coms. Pass out aims with Veers and keep him in cover with support. Use the bikes to pick off isolated units, if possible.

If you use the second list, make sure your opponent can't ignore the AT-ST. I know my general strategy for fighting them is to not, and focus on the troopers. If there's an AT-ST staring down on half my army, however...

Yeah when I played the second list I parked the AT-ST almost in the middle of the map, defending two objective tokens. My opponent didn't have the luxury of ignoring it.

I've only played the AT-ST once, and I made the mistake of playing it too conservatively. I'm actually playing with it later today for silent hail, where I can guarantee I won't have limited visibility.

I made sure to eliminate that card with my first pic. Out of all the choices i faced i had tobget rid of limited visibility.  My opponent was super sad when i pulled it.

Unfortunately it was card 3, so I couldn't eliminate it. This time, though, I get to choose! Hostile environment it is!
