Don't listen to the people who tell you that you "need" to restart. That's only a requirement if you're obsessive about arena placement. It's not a terrible idea, since free crystals are a huge help, but by no means is it necessary.
The first thing you may want to do is build a Scoundrel team for Credit & Droid Heists. You'll never have enough credits, so the sooner you can lock up that 5-10 million per heist, the better. Heists are pretty easy, so any 5 scoundrels should work. ST Han, Boba Fett and Lando Calrissian are all easy to obtain, and Boba remains useful throughout the game. Most of the Smuggler characters are also Scoundrels, so they're worth looking at too if you're able to access them, since they unlock Smuggler's Run.
Once you're heisting it up, the commonly recommended "optimal" path is to fast-track your way to the various Legendary and Hero characters, all of whom require specific factions or characters to attain:
Legendaries
Emperor Palpatine: Any 5 Rebels
R2D2: Any 5 Empire
Grand Admiral Thrawn: Any 5 Phoenix (there are only 6, generally Sabine is the one to skip for now)
BB-8: Any 5 First Order
Grand Master Yoda: Any 5 Jedi
Chewbacca: Any 5 Bounty Hunters (Dengar virtually required and Bossk highly recommended)
Heroes
Commander Luke Skywalker: Old Ben, Princess Leia, Farmboy Luke, Stormtrooper Han, & R2D2
Jedi Training Rey: Veteran Smuggler Han & Chewbacca, Scavenger Rey, Finn, & BB-8
Jedi Knight Revan: Bastila Shan, Jolee Bindo, T3-M4, Mission Vao, & Zalbaar
Since Phoenix squad members are also all Rebels, they are the first thing to work on since they'll get you both Palpatine and Thrawn. They, in turn, make it very easy to get R2 which leads you to Commander Luke.
After that, you can probably take your pick between First Order to start on the path to Jedi Rey, or Bounty Hunters. I'd probably go for hunters first, as they are a great team and are used for a wide variety of content: Galactic Bounty, Rebel Roundup, Chewbacca (they need to be really strong for this), & dedicated nodes in Territory Battles.
Revan is a pretty recent addition and I honestly can't say with any confidence when it's a good idea to start working towards him. All the required characters are pretty great in their own right, though they don't really mesh well as a single squad.
That's easily enough to keep you busy for a good, long time. Just don't forget that it's a game so as long as you're having fun, there is no "wrong" way to play.
