I love Cradily, I think it's really adorable. Like you said, this could really work well in a Sand team. I could actually use this in VGC doubles some time.
A moveset of Toxic/Infestation/Ancient Power/Recover would be a nuisance in Singles. I've been wondering about the potential of Infestation in the Doubles format a lot. Here for instance, a Pokémon possibly locked on to a Water-type move because of, say, a Choice item (Choice Specs Gastrodon for instance) would find it infuriating to not be able to switch out because of Infestation. This move does require a lot of predicting though.
Here in doubles though, I would use the moveset Ancient Power/Giga Drain/Gastro Acid/Recover out of the ones you suggested, to amplify its modest offensive presence a little bit with STAB. Ancient Power can do a lot of solid damage to M-Charizard Y, and I like that.
