I'm actually surprised at how few differences there were between the FS vs SF (both non-reversing and reversing versions).

You asked "Which of the ConfirmB strategies emulates the DDE strategy the best?" The FS strategies emulate the rev-2in1 the best.

Which is better? Hmmm. Let's just say that with my current view of the market, I would expect the FS strategy to be better because it fits my personal view of the world which is to look for a signal, and then wait for it to be confirmed, rather than have a "confirmed signal", waiting for the "signal" to arrive. That is to say, I prefer the horse before the cart, not the other way around. (But I'm willing to change my market-view given sufficient good evidence that the cart before the horse makes more sense.)

So, bottom line, a "fast" signal confirmed by a "slower" confirmation block makes more sense to me than the other way around.
