You want to optimize the seating position, so don't compromise on that.
My thoughts too. How'd you re-attach the seat cover after trimming?

The only additional adjustability the VAC mount will give me is horizontal adjustability, which I don't want. I'd rather trim the seat than be off-center to the steering wheel. How far above the door cards do your shoulder wings sit?

I installed without. Although I'm not tall, I didn't want the additional height of the slider. The top holes of the BK mounts were even a little too tall, but still didn't clear the door cards.
