No and No.

Simple answer.

The only thing you would really want her for is her Special Abilitiy, but its the only Special Ability in the game that can be destroyed by enemy fire. her Twin Fusion Blasters are good, but using them properly means completly wasting her Stealth Field.

She is poorly thought out and expensive.

Shas'O R'myr is far better, and he hardly does anything but look Awesome ;D

But lets say that despite all common sense and decency, I would still want to use Shadowsun. What would be the best way?

You could paint her up really nice and maybe score well at a competition.

This is true. Some of the worst armies I've seen win tournaments simply because the player was good and a really good painter. Course at my game shop painting is a separate award. And it's usually the one I try to win. HOWEVER if you want to use her I suppose you could use here as a single XV8 commander proxy. the stat lines are roughly the same.
