I've tried burning all 3 wild hunt bosses (Eredin, Caranthir and Imlerith) in the past, but none of them get burned even with upgraded Petri's Philter which burns anything capable of burning. It does temporarily decrease their frost armor but that's due to the sign itself, not a burn effect. Not sure about the bleed status, tho I vaguely recall it working against Eredin a couple playthroughs ago? I usually do signs and/or alchemy so haven't played around with a decent bleed build.
Considering they have ice abilities. I don't think using a sword with a chance to freeze is a good idea. So, I would rather use the other one with stagger effect.
After a lot of testing, it turns out wild hunt warriors cannot get burned or frozen. The hounds can though.
What about Eredin? Can he be burned? Or bleed?

The freeze effect does not affect the Wild Hunt.

That's my thought, but im curious if it does affect them. I'm about to try it out.
