Wondering what to use them on. I could go straight for Gungans, though I lack good mods for them, or should I use them for GL prerequisites?

This can never be a reason. Mod farming is an eternally, perpetual thing. Tomorrow, you will need better mods than you have today. Yesterday, you had worse mods than today. Also, some characters could be sitting in your roster smugly looking at their mod-set. However, it's your mod-set not theirs! If Gungans need the mods more, then give and take how you please!

It's difficult to know, especially when we don't know your priorities. Also, I'm unsure a lot of the 'path experts' are real experts. It's a good idea to plan your moves, but these exact paths...too many variables, for me.

Well that's the crux of the argument there. A team that's instantly going to give your account a boost vs something better for your account in the long run. Will adding Gungans boost your GAC so that the crystals you earn offset ignoring the larger (GL) target? I don't think there's an answer.

A few things to consider though:

If you really don't have the mods for Gungans, is there any point getting them?
Gungans have aged very well in GAC. Sadly, you've just missed out on a very opportune datacron. However, they do well in GAC, TW and Conquest anyway.
Gungans is a dead-end path. There's no raid (for good guilds) anymore, no events and the characters do not lead to another path. The Jar Jar event is also far from easy.
GLs being the end game goal may not be entirely true any more. The power creep of new teams is a little out of control. It feels that a lot of GLs are a bit of a liability now compared to some of the newer teams. That said, having all the GLs will grind your opponents down, even if they're not pulling their full weight.

So, I think only you should make the choice. Neither choice is wrong, but one choice will be more right than the other. Maybe, if you plan what you want to do for the next couple of farms after this one, the choice might become a bit more obvious.

Remember that post of mine a few days back where we thought I might be getting paired up with Kyber players who'd been squished down? I need better defensive teams, which is the main crux of my thought process here

All Kyber players are being squished down. At the moment, we're all swimming against a river that's getting faster and faster. Everybody will be washed away until CG does a "Ooops yeah my bad, sorry about saying everything is WAI, you're right it isn't!" Until that happens, I'm afraid that there's little to no chance of progressing.

Hmmm, OK that's an interesting one. Gungans are a good defensive team. However, in Kyber there are set counters that are very reliable. Also, it's been a bit weird recently with datacrons that have been literally by-passing the silver ball of annoyance.
If we get into a state where the ball is no longer by-passed and you can make players use the counters before hitting your gungans, then OK. Other than that, it might be a better offensive team. Saying that, I generally set them on defence unless I know I can utilise them on attack. Sssshhh though, that's our secret.
So if "I want a good defensive team to combat what's coming out of the Kyber waste pipes" maybe Gungans isn't the right choice. Without a good current datacron, they'll probably have an answer for them. For the general Aurodium level player...then maybe that's a real toothache for them.
