As long as your matchmaking GP is not made entirely of relics, r0 is the best choice on supports and characters that only need speed (like Starck for example).
R5+ on attackers, r3-4 on most tanks, r7 on your meta characters or the ones that have multiple uses (GLs, GG, JKL, GK, JKA, etc.).
Once you hit r3+ on your top 80, keeping anyone at r0 is no longer important, but until then it helps greatly with matchmaking. Finisher boost is less than 300 GP for a huge gain while one relic level is almost 1k.
Tbh for the "speed chars" like Starck I'd equip the 3 speed pieces and just not upgrade them or just equip the 3 right pieces. I've already had an opponent who did exactly that and had like 13 chars at g12+6.
There's a small speed boost when using a speed set by going to G13.
EDIT: closing the gear level does not give you any additional GP, there is zero reason to have a character at g12+6 unless your opponent is afraid of blue or red
