I have replaced Basalt Monolith and Augury Owl with Aether Channeler and Noble Hierarch, which reduced the average converted mana cost of this deck from 3.33 to 3.32, because this deck has a strong emphasis on creatures, so a mana dork better fits the deck's theme than does a mana rock, and the channeler is more versatile than is the owl.

SaberTech, I would like to keep exactly 40 land cards in my EDH decks, and I understand that that may seem to be irrational, but that is my own personal quirk, so I like to maintain that across my decks.
As for the main subject of this thread, I shall keep Arcane Signet in my Chulane deck, for the present time, because it is such a good card, and I shall replace Basalt Monolith with Noble Hierarch and Augury Owl with Aether Channeler, as that creature is more versatile.

If it was just a decision between Noble Hierarch and Arcane Signet, then I think that there is an argument to be made that the Hierarch is better in a Chulane deck. There are other options though considering how Arcane Signet helps you cast all those early game spells that require two of the same colour of mana. You could go down to 39 lands to add the Hierarch, which I think is reasonable. Or you could take out Augury Owl since the scry effect is pretty weak in comparison to the cheap creatures you already run that draw you a card on ETB.

SaberTech, what if I replaced Arcane Signet, as well, which would allow me to put both Kiora's Follower and Noble Hierarch into this deck, or is Arcane Signet too good to replace?

Depends on what you value more:
Kiora's Follower offers more mid to late game utility. It untaps lands, possibly ramps a lot when paired with Bloom Tender or Faeburrow Elder, untaps creatures with other abilities, and can untap a creature so that you can block after attacking. If you are used to games going long then this will probably contribute to more plays.
Noble Hierarch can potentially offer you more speed if you can cast it turn 1. You also have a lot of cards at 3 and 4 mana that require two mana of a particular colour, which the Hierarch will more consistently be able to help cast. Even if you draw it later in the game, being able to cast it and draw a card off of Chulane for just one mana is a much better rate than two mana.
Without knowing the speed and length of the games you usually end up playing it's a bit hard for me to make a call on that. I tend to default to trying to shore up early game consistency so the Hierarch appeals to me, but I can't actually guarantee that it's the best choice for your particular meta.

SaberTech, at this point, it seems that some of the most appealing options for replacing Basalt Monolith are either Noble Hierarch or Kiora's Follower, because this deck does contain many creatures who have abilities that require the creatures being tapped to activate, so which of those creatures do you prefer?

If you find that the deck frequently lets you have more than 7 cards in hand then yeah, Thought Vessel is worth considering. Of those options though, Noble Hierarch would be my pick since it lets you jump to 3 mana a turn early and every mana dork is an extra card draw with Chulane later in the game. Sakura-Tribe Elder is also worth considering even though you have to sac it. I would consider ramping into an extra land a safer form of ramp that the Maraleaf Pixie at the same mana cost. The Pixie would be better in decks that run cards like Ohran Frostfang or Bident of Thassa.

SaberTech, in that case, would Thought Vessel be a good choice, or what about either Maraleaf Pixie or Noble Hierarch?
