BB was never really an option, what do you think he'll do? I see no reason why he shouldn't ally with Saint Shanks.
Like, Saint Shanks and Mihawk are friends. They're rivals but they're also friends. Saint Shanks told Mihawk about Luffy, and Mihawk travelled to the New World to hunt Saint Shanks down and give him Luffy's first bounty poster (he may even have Saint Shanks Vivre Card).
Saint Shanks crewmates weren't surprised or bothered by Mihawk's presence
Before he decided to attack Luffy, he apologised to Saint Shanks in his mind. When asked to fight Saint Shanks at Marineford, he told the Marines to go fuck themselves.
If Mihawk is going to the New World, there's no reason for him not to drop by on his friend and say hi. Saint Shanks would probably offer Mihawk to become captain an alliance.
Mihawk is kind of a lone wolf, he probably wouldn't be setting up a crew by himself.
