You can do so much with Phoenix it is ridiculous. So, as a starting player farm them up. Farm them up fairly "evenly" because they are a solid team and you can do a lot with them. (EP, Thrawn, LS nodes, etc.)
There is a group called Reality Skewed Gamers who does streaming and videos on youtube. They have a starter series that talks about all the basics you should work on. It is fairly recent. (Anything over a year old relating to this game usually isn't viable anymore.) Check that series out and you'll see what you should do. There is tons of information out there, just check out youtube and keep looking at dates for anything too old.
Boba should be your #1 scoundrel and Bounty Hunter to farm up. He'll be quite worthwhile for you to have because his leadership ability is useful for all characters, not just one faction. He also has a darn good ship which you'll want to use when you unlock fleet. (You'll get Ackbar and Mace Windu from doing fleet events when you are at the level to unlock fleet so don't worry about farming them too much just yet. Same as Tarkin.)
Start looking at building up a Dark Side team as well. There are quite a few, like Imperial Troopers are good for the long term, same as Sith. Nightsisters are a good DS team too, but a longer term and higher level thing for down the road more.
I don't know how you feel about your guild, but there are many out there that are multiple guild guilds. (50 players per, so they have many sub-guilds) You can try getting into a larger one and they'll have "starter" guilds that build you up and then you get promoted into higher guilds in their group, and so on.
Looks like you're on the right track, keep it up. Good luck with it all.
