Optimal Speed Grand Admiral Thrawn

Slow speed Thrawn is essential for IGM in P3 of HAAT - basically, run him at basic speed without any mods so his fracture is easier to control.

In Arena, I run my Thrawn at 280 speed (+125) and I find it immensely useful for getting a quick fracture off, or doing a TM swap to get rid off initial JTR debuffs or CLS buff imunity.

I run through p2-4 with the same mods as always on Thrawn.... as fast as possible. Since Fracture's 50% speed down doesn't stack with Speed Down, it's more about the TM reduction and keeping people alive with GAC's protection regen. I'd rather Fracture end immediately, honestly.

I care because it halves Thrawns speed for minimal gain. Thrawn losing half his speed in exchange for -%30 counter chance & an extra %25 slower boss is a bad trade.

For arena
I would go with a faster thrawn. Remember that his speed os 50% when fracturing. So compare different speeds when fracturing:
200 speed = 100 speed when fracturing
240 speed = 120 speed when fracturing
280 speed = 140 speed when fracturing

I would never slow down thrawn or any character in arena to 200, and i dont see a big difference between 240 and 280, so the faster the better.

As others have said, getting the fracture or cleanse off at the start of rhe battle is the difference between an easy team (slow) and a challenging team (fast).

If you have a Rex lead, thrawn would get tm on crits so you might find the fast thrawn to be really bad.

For raids
It depends on which phase and whether you need protection regen alot. If you need a slow thrawn for a phase, i pull off the speed set arrow.
