Answer 1

I have been using Mienshao in-game and it is a great sweeper and has a fantastic ability in Regenerate. Conkeldurr has higher attack but is much, much slower and won't take a SpDef hit like Psychic. Plus you already have 3 slow bulky Pokemon on your team already.

I would go for Mienshao with Hi Jump Kick/Stone Edge/Acrobatics/U-Turn.

Other movesets are here, as you should know:

For the rest of your team, you could consider giving Chandelure Hex instead of Shadow Ball. If you're using Will-O-Wisp then Hex is bp 100 as opposed to SB's 80. For Escavalier maybe try Reversal instead of Iron Defense (its defense is already high enough).

Answer 2

The rest of your team is kinda lacking in speed so I think mianshao will suit your team better

adamant or jolly nature [i recommend jolly] @ life orb

with regenerator ability

hi-jump kick/drain punch for power or regeneration

U-turn to evade psychic attacks

stone edge for coverage

fake out for free damage /aerial ace to take out bugs/acrobatics if you use berry anything you want.

No,the nature should be adamant because Mienshao has no special attacks 0_0

dude jolly increases speed and decreases special attack.

Answer 3

You'll want Conkeldurr, which is stronger of the two, and is also quite bulky. Adamant Nature, 252 Attack, 252 Defense, 4 HP for EVs. Item Life Orb. Moveset of Mach Punch/Drain Punch, Bulk Up, Stone Edge, Payback

Why was this voted down? This is a valid answer because I think Conkeldurr is better than Mienshao. Even if you do not think this, you can't vote this down because it is my opinion.
