Gearing Priority for Resistance Squad

I have Finn, Poe, Resistance Trooper, Resistance Pilot, Scavenger Rey, and I will have R2-D2 in a few days. Assuming all those characters are at 7*s and Finn has his zeta, what is the gearing priority? In other words, if I can only get one character at a time past gear VIII, which one goes first, second, third, etc.

Note: I am going to use Resistance for GW mainly, maybe also arena (I know it's not "meta," but I don't have the meta characters), raids, and TB, so assume I am going for an all-purpose type squad.

Example (also, my best guess):
Poe > Resistance Trooper > R2-D2 > Finn > Resistance Pilot > Scavenger Rey

Here means Poe is the most important to gear, Resistance Trooper is second, ..., and Scavenger Rey would be left off of the squad.

Thank you in advance for the help!

    Hi,

    Unless you have your arena team already, I would suggest to put R2-D2 a priority, especially if you're planning to zeta him.
    Other than that, I went with the same gearing order.
    I had R2 G12 when I started to gear up Resistance toons, so Poe > RT > zFinn > RP > Rey (to be honest, I am not gearing up RP and Rey at the moment, but if you want them, go for it).
    Poe is obviously the most important as he will take all the damage, and he needs to be fast.

    Thanks! I've got Poe at G XI and Resistance Trooper at G X so far, the rest are a work in progress. Once I get R2-D2, I will gear him up before Finn or Resistance Pilot. I am not quite at the point where I am farming zetas (zFinn will be my first), so I will not be zeta-ing R2-D2 for awhile. Again thanks for the advice, that was exactly what I needed to know! :)
