I've been following this guide pretty closely for a few months now and I would like some opinions on some things now that I'm pretty far along. This guide and the discussion have been a tremendous help in focusing my plans so thanks for that everyone.

I'm level 67 (68 tomorrow), have Phoenix to all 7* and at G8 and have spent some money here and there for bundles I think have a lot of value. I consistently get top 10 in Fleet battles and Squad arenas but am running into a lot of issues fighting Sith teams that typically have Vader, Sith Trooper/KRU, Nihilus, Sion, and Dooku and wondering what I can do to beat them. Dooku stuns the heck out of everyone on my team and between STrooper/KRU and Sion taunting Nihilus just slowly eats my team without me being able to do anything about it since Phoenix members seem to hit like wet noodles and have few dispells. For the future I'm planning on my DS arena team to be Thrawn, Palp, Vader, Tarkin, and TFP/Stormtrooper depending on when the events happen. I definitely want to jump off the Phoenix boat ASAP, I can feel their power waning in arena. Given that my shard seems to be drifting towards a heavy Sith presence is this still a good idea?

Cantina nodes: I'm farming KRU until 69, then it'll be Wedge. Do I farm Wedge to 7* and then go back to KRU and his ship?
Cantina Store: Not entirely sure who I should be farming in this store, HRScout is at 3* but do I really need him now? I have no interest in Fives since I won't be running Mace in Fleet Battles. Should I just get Stormtrooper to 7*?
Squad Arena Store: Also not entirely sure who to farm here, I don't need IG-88 since I'm a little more than halfway to raid Han. I've been teetering between getting Tarkin or Leia to 7*.
GW Store: I'm just buying ship blueprints for TFP, FOTP, and Biggs when they show up, though I find myself having spare currency every now and then. Should I put that into Phasma?
Fleet Store: Pretty straightforward.
Guild Store: I have like 6k currency here and am buying Old Ben and Rex shards when I can. Do I really need Maul?
Hard Nodes: I farm consular (do I really need him?), First Order Stormtroop, HRSoldier, and Sabine. Rest of it goes into gear.
Guild Events: Not sure what to farm in this store at this time, just been saving so far because I think the lategame gear is where I want to be spending.

For fleets I was planning on having my 5 Rebels (for Chimera) at 5* be Ghost, Phantom, Biggs, and Wedge. I am unsure who to make my 5th, is there any real difference between the U-Wings? For Dark Side it was going to be Slave 1, TIE Adv. (I'm sure I'll get it at some point), TFP, FOTFP, and FOSFTFP. Do I really need Sun Fac and Scimitar as the guide suggests?

For Cantina, I'd finish farming KRU and the TIE Silencer until they're both 7*. The ship does wonders in fleet arena and Kylo is the best First Order leader. Once you're finished there, then I'd get Wedge.

For Cantina store, I'd get Boba Fett to 7* for credit heists. He's going to be your main damage dealer there and you want him as strong as possible. He's also a good generic plug-in or leader for an arena, dark side, raid, or galactic war battle.

For Squad Arena store, I would finish off Stormtrooper Han. You'll need him for credit heists and later for getting CLS. After that, I'd get your fleet admiral to 7*.

For GW store, get Biggs to 7*. He has one of the most important ships.

For guild store, I'd consider farming Dengar for a 5th scoundrel if you don't think you'll get raid Han before you hit level 70.
