Verdict > Teferi > Geist. In a 360 cube, you may be able to get away without Verdict because there will be enough other sweepers, but at other sizes you need it. I've also never run a 360, so I could be totally off base with that comment.
I agree with rant, but I think I'd rank them Teferi > Verdict > Geist. Verdict is the most "necessary" card, especially as the cube gets larger, but Teferi is easily the most powerful and the most interesting. If you've only got room for one gold card per guild, then you're probably tight enough that you can get away with leaving Verdict out. As the cube grows though, the Wrath density needs to increase and Verdict becomes more important.
I cut Hero a while ago because it felt redundant, but with the rules change on Hellrider, I'm wondering if it's closer for any of you.

I can't say I'm pleased to see you and must warn you I may have to do something about it.

Draft my cube: Eric's 390 Unpowered
I agree with previous comments that they are both great. If indeed I have to choose, it will be TKS due to the Coercion effect making it harder to remove.
1. If you're looking to support colorless, go with Thought Vessel. However, there are a ton of other mana rocks I'd play before those.
2. If you must decide, TKS is the superior card here. The disruption and pressure presented is key to winning a lot of match ups, especially if your cube is higher powered and combos are more prevalent. TKS can just remove the Wrath or combo piece that would've made Smasher irrelevant. That said, I can't imagine running one but not the other if you're supporting colorless. They're practically the reasons to support colorless cards.

I'm considering cutting one of the following: Timetwister or Time Spiral. Which one should get the axe?

I'd be hard pressed to actually be convinced to cut most of these (am leaning towards Ferocidon, but not excited about it), but since I'm stuck, I'd love some outside opinions!

Thought Vessel > Star Compass > Sphere of the Suns
But if you need the off color splash then I would reverse the order. In my artifact cube I have Sphere of the Suns to allow easy splashing and it interacts with proliferate.

450 Unpowered Cube Cobra
In an unpowered cube, definitely timetwister.
