For a base layer should I go with a lightweight merino? I wear a Sidewinder hard shell.

It honestly doesn't matter. I have a very similar icebreaker top to this, and I wear it with either wool or synthetic baselayers and it is great either way. Of course, if you listen to the Icebreaker marketing, they claim that multiple wool layers work best together. I love the Sidewinder hardshell - only thing you might keep in mind is that the neck can get tight when zipped up so you might need to be careful about many layers you wear that have zippers going up the neck.
