Swordsage, which paths?

[Edea]

As stated above, what are the recommended paths/maneuvers or all around strategies for a swordsage? How many paths can you commit to? Any advice?

I was thinking of Diamond Mind/Shadow Hand/Desert Wind. Opinions?

My swordsages are usually real heavy on Shadow Hand and Setting Sun (tend to play a reworked version of the unarmed variant), especially if I intend to go into SSN (which, frankly, oozes awesome from every pore).

When I want a 'Diamond Tiger,' I usually go for a Warblade/Swordsage combo instead of straight Swordsage. Desert Wind I avoid like the plague.
