Bringing this up one last time. I don't feel comfortable naming a winner for mine or SCSN's boards yet. I think Robz wins mine and PS wins SCSN's? Help me out here! You can find the links to the boards in the first post.
I think I would go pirate ship on both games.
On your game I would probably just get one Pirate or two, it depends on how fast opponent trashes. but I don't think you can trash all your coppers so quickly because it's hard to build economy with just fortune tellers. Also, ignoring pirate ship somehow means that you open the way of pillage for your opponent. I mean, if you draw a little bit you'll quickly see your spoils coming and use them. I'm not sure about tactician, actually. Double-tactician is cool but as you said it's hard to double-province. I think a hunting grounds or two would do the job better.
About SCSN's, the log convince me. The only real source of draw is stables and it depends on treasures, so building an action-money deck against pirate ship seems really hard. I have some experience with butcher as source of money, and it's a terrible card for that.
