Burn is to get your opponent from 20-0 as quickly as possible with burn spells. Dark Confidant, Monastery Mentor, Soulfire Grand Master, etc. only deviate from the game plan and make the deck significantly worse.

Gonna have to go with the Basic Burn, even though I'm not a fan of Thunderous Wrath or Reforge the Soul in Modern. As NateJH noted, Monastery Mentor/Young Pyromancer/Soulfire Grand Master/etc. deviate from the "kill them as fast as possible" gameplan, because they take a few turns to really pay off (as opposed to hitting them with another burn spell). Because they are slow, they typically require more disruptive sorts of spells to give you the time to get proper value out of them, including defense/disruption to protect your investment. Thus, I don't think it's a good fit.

Like others have said, the first deck is a better burn deck, but that doesn't mean that the above mentioned creatures are bad, in fact they are very good, except not in burn.
