Shigure´s Viability

guys, need an advice, i was planning to build shigure. Already have a +spd -res one, but i don´t know if i should keep his lance, or firesweep or brave lance ? anyone with experience using shigure?
i think Firesweep is very safe on most lancers to do, as they usually lack in either res or def, so lowering it with LnD doesnt matter too much.
I know Shigure has the speed to stay a PP unit imo, what should i gave him if i stick with Harmonic lance.
Also i know Firesweep prefers Galeforce.

If you're going to use the firesweep build, L&D is the best A slot for him, at that point +spd isn't needed anymore making +atk the best choice, even at neutral he will reach 42 spd while unbuffed and unmerged which is enougth for most enemies, add the fact that he can get buffed by Goad and Hone fliers +spd is an eccessive overkill, even outside flier emblem drive spd isn't hard to obtain.
Hit & Run is obviously the best choice for his b slot, Galeforce isn't a must but can be a great option if you can give his Flashing blade or Heavy blade in his seal slot

I've given him all three lances and in my experience, Firesweep is the best for player phase and Harmonic is best for mixed phase. Brave Lance can be good for situations where quad attacking really matters but I'd only really use it if he's supported by flier buffs, the other two arent as support dependent.

Like you said, firesweep is really safe, and galeforce is a good option only if you run heavy blade though, which works better with a +atk boon (at +10 he reaches 60 ark with LND). Fliers cant use flashing blade so that's his best option for that. Otherwise, I'd use something like Luna.

Harmonic Lance is a generalist weapon so he can be built to suit your needs. He could go Fury with Close Defense to bulk him up, or just go glass cannon with LND and buffs. It's a good weapon but on flier teams, I prefer firesweep or brave lance.

Shigure is a great unit with lots of build options. I personally use 4 builds for him:
1. Berkuts lance spd refined, DC, Desperation, sol, flier buff, iotes shield for a mixed phase generalist
2. Harmonic lance spd refined, swift sparrow, glimmer, desperation, flier buff, heavy blade
3.Firesweep lance, swift sparrow, Hit&Run/Drag back, flier buff, speed+3
4.Slaying lance spd refined, Galeforce, swift sparrow/fury, Desperation, flier buff, heavy blade

My shigure is +atk/-res and currently +6. As soon as i get one that is +atk/-hp i will switch to that.
From my experience the second and fourth build are the most optimal for him but keep in mind that my playstyle may differ from yours.
Also a +spd iv is kinda overkill, he prefers +atk since refinements can give +3 spd but only +2 atk
