Re: 5x shooting vs. 5x Do it all
Do it all has individual advantages at 4 of the 5 starting spots to make up for the fit issues with only Curry having the edge (big one in this context) for shooting. On the other hand, your idea of doing it all apparently doesn't include the defensive half of the game.
On the other hand, Iverson is in the rotation for do it all and he's really terrible for this type of exercise, to say nothing of his having a bad history when asked to come off the bench. If ego comes out of the equation, I would probably start Grant Hill and use him as a glue guy/defender type and bring Westbrook off the bench with Iverson falling out of the equation altogether.

Re: 5x shooting vs. 5x Do it all
It's more like team off-ball vs team lead playmakers. The second team seems to have the advantage here as despite them having worse shooting, they might still come out with a better offense due to the other team looking kind of static. Defensively peak Bron at the 4 makes the difference for me.
Taking Reggie Miller to the bench, pushing Curry and Klay up a spot and then starting Nash to fix the playmaking issues could make things more interesting although the defensive difference becomes even bigger.

Pretty obviously team do it all. You realize Lebron is much better than anyone on the shooting team right?

For many teams, yes. Looking at peak seasons and the personnel involved, I think Curry is better than LeBron for this particular pair of teams.
