I like Ancestor's Chosen as a stall tactic against aggro or Oath if for some reason I'm not ready to go off. It's an easy choice to sideboard out against opther decks.
This is 4-proxy, the Bazaars. I'd consider adding Lotus or a Mox.
Fatesticher and Emerald Charm seems a bit superfluous. Which should go? (whether taken out of the deck entirely or when sideboarding)
Should I sideboard Chalice? I'd likely maindeck the Unmasks in its place.
Needs bloodghast and undiscovered paradise to trigger landfall
Bloodghast was a then-new card that I had never bothered to add. Undiscovered Paradise has a drawback-that-isn't here. Bloodghast's landfall makes it a benefit, and it's not like I have any other lands in hand to play instead.
It's obvious to cut Gemstone Mine and City of Brass for them.
Bloodghast is something besides Thug or Imp to pitch to Ichorid, and if Bloodghast is on the battlefield itself, it's a nontoken creature to sac to Therapy or Return.
I would consider Sun Titan as a 1 of over Ancestor's Chosen it gives you more flexibility, you could still sideboard your Ancestor's chosen against "Aggro", but there aren't many decks like that in vintage - but maybe they are more prevalent in your meta.
As to your question of which should go Emerald Charm or Fatesticher, dump the Emerald Charms as they are not creatures you can sac to Dread Return. Most people are running Nature's Claim in the sideboard giving you more options vs enchantments and artifacts like Pithing Needle and Tormod's Crypt. The Charm gives you more flexibility game 1, but how often will the you need the enchantment removal game 1 - and the Stitchers and Titan should give you multiple Bazaar activations if needed.
[card]
Bloodghast[/card] are also common, if you go with Ancient Grudge in the side too you can get more use out of your Undiscovered Paradise. One Dakmor Salvage is not a bad idea too.
Soo many options, this is my favorite archetype. Have fun.

This is an old decklist from before M11 and I never thought to update it.
I take it Bazaar is the main target for Titan. Also, it seems like Titan could do several other things in a pinch.
I've rarely ever used the Sadistic Hypnotist in side, I'll replace that with Ancestor's Chosen.
Cutting Emerald Charm and keeping Fatestitcher (and why) seems obvious now that you mention it. I thought of moving Chalice to side to main Unmask. Now that I have the slots, I'll maindeck both.
I feel I have enough dredgers
Yeah, it's fun. It's also particularly challenging to pilot, especially since I'm used to running straight up aggro.
Here's the decklist I'm going to test now. (In general, I make new posts with updated decklists instead of editing old ones so old replies still make sens ein context)
4 Gemstone Mine
4 City of Brass
4 Bazaar of Baghdad
// Creatures
4 Ichorid
4 Stinkweed Imp
4 Golgari Thug
3 Fatestitcher
4 Narcomoeba
4 Golgari Grave-Troll
1 Flame-Kin Zealot
1 Ancestor's Chosen
4 Serum Powder
3 Dread Return
4 Cabal Therapy
4 Chalice of the Void
4 Emerald Charm
4 Bridge from Below
2 Darkblast
4 Chain of Vapor
4 Leyline of the Void
1 Sadistic Hypnotist
4 Unmask
