Empire or First Order?
What faction should I focus on farming? I know with empire you can get R2 but First Order may be more beneficial with the new movie coming soon?

Empire:
You get vader shards automatically as you progress. You only need to buy a few to get him to 5*. His ship is great and he also has his uses in raids (with zeta).
RG can be farmed right away.
Tarkin is given to you at 4* as reward for ships intro challenges and is the best admiral until Thrawn and his ship will be available to you.
EP will unlock at 5* using a team of 5 rebels (many of which you will probably farm anyway — Ezra, ST Han, Lando, Biggs and possibly Ackbar and Wedge).
TFP is an easy farm in cantina and will also do well in both raids as well as fleet arena.
So, yes, empire will be both easy to get to 5* for R2 and can serve you well.
First order will unlock BB8, but they are a much longer farm and they require quite a few zetas to shine. However, FOO and Phasma are good in pit raids (Teebo lead teams without CLS), FOTP has a nice ship and Kylo still has his uses even if he's a bit outdated.
Of these two, I would choose empire (but yes, FO received a rework once, maybe they will again).
