More than one way to skin a cat.
my preference is reheated in a crockpot with a little apple juice. Good luck.XL & MM BGE, 36" Blackstone - Newport News, VA -
However you decide to reheat, you really want to pull when the initial cook is finished. Then bag and reheat when ready to serve. The reheat options are many and hopefully the reheat experts will be along.

Smoke shred reheat crockpot with liquid or sauce
reheating sous Vide is probably the best“There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body.”

Sous vide is IMO the easiest and most sure fire way to have great reheat results.

Do you have to pull and shred just before? I would shred it, then chill it. It will re-heat way better.

As I understand it, you want to pull it off the Egg the day before, but not pull/shred the meat until the next day.
My question on the second half is: why? Is it just for presentation? Because I’m really not sure there’s a great way to do that. In other words, I agree with @lousubcap - it’s best to pull when the cook is done, or say right after pulling it out of the foil from an FTC hold. But you can’t FTC for 24 hrs."I've made a note never to piss you two off." - Stike -
I shred when I pull it off. Then vac seal and sous vide to reheat.
Never shredded a day/days later so cannot comment on that recommendation.They don’t want a population of citizens capable of critical thinking. They don’t want well informed, well educated people capable of critical thinking. They’re not interested in that. That doesn’t help them. That's against their interests. - George Carlin -

Absolutely not a fan of reheating in a crock pot with or without sauce. Dries it out too much. Before bagging it, you might sprinkle some eastern NC vinegar sauce over it, mix it in, then bag and seal. Adds a little moisture for the reheat.
I have tried a bunch of reheat methods and IMO, this is by far the best.I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

I food saver in big chunks and shred after reheating. Pork tends to dry out so fast after shredding that I figure I’m losing something in the time it takes to shred and seal. I could be off base but that’s my logic none the less.
