Arena: Shaak Clones or Padme?
So, I'm planning on making a new account, which will probably involve a Hyperdrive Bundle. With that bundle, I'd be able to farm up Arc Trooper relatively quickly, and a few thousand crystals can get ...

Those JKR teams will soon be replaced by DR and GAS teams. Padme counters both (with some difficulty when it comes to DR+Malak, but still). Shaak Ti beats neither.
Also, while Padme vs JKR is a bit of a timeout nightmare, the same is true in reverse. Meaning JKR risks timing out and sometimes losing against Padme on offense. Ahsoka constantly assists and dispels GK, Anakin's AOE can be brutal, and one lucky team assist can take out their Jolee.
Whereas Shaak Troopers are easy to beat with JKR and will drop like a rock on your server. Kill Shaak, kill Fives, mop up. There's a reason https://swgohcounters.com/ lists JKR as a hard counter for Shaak Ti and a soft counter for Padme.
There is also GAS to consider. You'll ultimately want both teams when you're going for GAS, but you don't need the clones to unlock him. You can initially run GAS on your Padme team in place of JKA, which already holds a lot better on defense, while you're gearing your clones. The only argument in favor of gearing clones first that I can see is their vastly better HSTR score.
