Is there a guide to GW that shows how match ups are created? I have two accounts and my main account I'm at lv 66 and usually ranked 500-700 in PvP. My other phone account is lv57 and in the 1600-2000 PvP rank. My alt account GW starts my opponents in the mid 30's and tops off about 47-49 in node 9-10. I've cleared it 9 times in the last two weeks. My main account starts me at lv57+ and I generally only make it past node 6-7. I'd have to dump weeks worth of droids/credits into my B toons to make it past GW on that account. Is it worth it?

A dev confirmed on Reddit that your GW match-ups are based on two things: your highest rank EVER in arena and your highest power rated squad out of your total characters.
So investing in your A squad will increase your GW difficulty. If you are more interested in GW rewards than Arena rewards, I would invest in your B characters.
I invest more in winning GW than Arena because you get more shards (16 from GW vs max of 12.5 from Arena for finishing 1st), plus credits, training droids, and ability mats. You can get more crystals from Arena (which can be converted into the other resources), but they scale very slowly as you move up in ranks.
I have 3 B characters who I keep a few levels behind my A squad. They help tremendously in GW, plus they round out my LS and DS teams. Over time, you'll be able to do better in arena if you maximize your rewards from GW.
