The Medivh mage going around is not a "Secret Mage" in the sense of archetype. It only happens to run 2-3 secrets due to Arcanologist being a great card, then Medivh's Valet on top of that because it happens to be good there also.
For which one is better, depends on the opponent. Against the sum set of all possible opponents on ladder, depends on what you think that is going to be.

Not really, i incorporate kirin tor mage into the my mage deck just to get some tempo and board control. I have medivh and alex for late game, elise for some rng and value, at the same time, i also play secrets such as counter spell and spellbender. I think my deck is similar to what the OP have seen. I do not like the cabal lacky and crystal runner version as the deck is very dependent on draw, and it runs out of steam pretty fast if you do not draw into arcane intellect.

Lately I've seen a lot of hybrid secret mages with Medivh and sorcerers apprentice
I don't run Medivh but I do run ice block and Avian Watcher. It's really good and shuts down aggro.

I haven't tried avian watcher yet, I'm also running an ice block though

Now once you start seeing Kirin Tor Mage, Kabal Lackey and Kabal Crystal Runner, that is the Secret Mage archetype. It wins on tempo, not value.
