Unfortunately, the very nature of the game is that if you want something *now*, especially if it's one of the best or most desirable characters, you will need to shell out some money to get them. If you're wanting to stay competitive with players who purchased the Hyperdrive bundle, you will need to be patient.
The above advice of going Empire/Sith into Traya or DRev is probably your best bet right now as an EP team is very easy to build up into something effective, and only requires one zeta to be competitive.
My advice is, if you haven't already, find yourself a guild with HPit and HAAT on farm at the very least, ideally one where you can leach HSR as well. Raids are a great source of gear and Han, GK, and Traya all remain important characters today, even if not to the extent they used to be (in Han and Traya's case).
Regarding CLS, Rebels are currently a rather tricky team to run in arena. If you're going against JKR, let alone DR or any of the other top tier teams, you need Han, Chewie, and 3P0 to stand a chance. You're also going to need a really fast CLS too. They're my arena team and I can usually finish top 50, or at least 100, but you'll need much better mods than you would if you used a better team. You certainly can beat Traya, JKR, DR, GG Sep Droids, and even Padme (by far the hardest of those matchups if Padme's unique is zetaed) but there are easier teams to acquire that perform better.
E: I would zeta EP Lead and run EP, Vader, BSF, Dooku, and one of Thrawn, Nihilus, or Sion. Gear those last three up and eventually swap Dooku out for one of the others. Of those toons, BSF, Nihilus, and especially Sion have really beneficial zetas. EP unique isn't bad if you want to use him more long term but you can certainly do without. Just zetaing EP lead will help you climb way higher than Nihilus lead will.
