What do I do with my Light Dragoons?

I have a small unit of average impetuous Light Dragoons, but I can't decide what to attach to them.

With the points available, I can do the following:
  • Make the unit a large unit
  • Make them a superior unit 
  • Make it a veteran unit that is no longer Impetuous
  • Add a brigade commander
  • Add an Artillery battery detachment 
  • Add a brigade commander or artillery unit to an infantry unit or cavalry unit
Tactically, the unit can be used in multiple ways:
  • As a direct charging unit working with the paired Shock Heavy Dragoons 
    • As a superior unit better in combat
    • As a veteran unit better able to act independently and make cohesion checks
    • As a unit lead by a commander that makes it better ijn combat and better cohesion checks (though not as good as a veteran unit)
  • As a unit able to stand off from infantry in square and shoot them with the attached artillery
  • Add a brigade commander and use it optionally away from the rest of the division (On the other flank of the army for example)
  • Use the points elsewhere
What to choose?
