1) ARENA - Gold Rings on GMY, Ezra and Kanan.

Getting GMY and Ezra to G12 is definitely worthwhile. You might be satisfied with Kanan at G11, though, especially if you plan is to swap him out with a better toon as soon as you can.

Slice mods to Gold (not 6* though, so I can swap mods easily).

Don't worry about getting Mods to Gold. Instead, I recommend that you sort your Mods by speed, and just work on Slicing the fastest ones first, regardless of their tier. I have gotten 5 Mods up to +18 Speed or greater, just by slicing some fast blues up to purple. Getting them to Gold is only important if you're actually going to take them on up to 6e.

How far away are you from unlocking General Kenobi? I honestly wouldn't bother with Aayla. If you don't have a great 5th option for a Jedi, just use a non-Jedi until you get Kenobi or Hermit Yoda ready for that team. Commander Luke, Grand Admiral Thrawn, and especially Darth Nihilus are terrific on a Bastila-lead Jedi team.

2) Cantina Energy —> Vets, no distractions.
3) Guild Store —> Dengar to 7* and Gear him to G10+, then Starck, then Jyn
4) Normal Energy—> last 80 Bastila Shards, Hoth Rebel Soldier.
5) Existing characters —>
Boba to G12
Zam, Greedo, Cad Bane to G11
sRey & Finn to G10
BB8, Ventress, Datcha, Han to G11+

Plan looks pretty good. However, you'll want to get Scavenger Rey to at least G11 (12 is better) for a good phase 1 STR Resistance team. Also, you'll probably need your Ventress to be G12 to be effective in the HAAT; she's somewhat squishy, even at G11, so the tank main gun shot can kill her, even with buffs active to protect her. You'll want BB-8 to G12, too, but he can survive pretty well at G11 in the HAAT, since he evades well and often. Han will need to go to G12 for the STR, and to be effective in various game modes. He, too, is real squishy until you get that G12 gear on him.

Zetas —> IBAT, Shoots First, Rampage.
Then Balanced Tactics, Merciless Pursuit & Agressive Tactician.

Aiming at HAAT with first 3 Zetas, Aiming at Chewie 7* and JTR with other farms. Starck would give me 5 Imperial Troopers.

IBAT, Shoots First, and Rampage are all terrific Zetas, and definitely worthwhile if you're focusing on getting a HAAT team going that can get you top placement in your guild. That'll help you get GK a lot faster, and get better gear and other loot - nothing wrong with that.

As for the other three Zetas that you mentioned, they're all terrific and make the factions that they're associated with really shine. However, your Resistance, First Order, and Imperial Troopers are all pretty underdeveloped. Those Zetas aren't going to really help you much until you gear up your toons. Once you've got everybody G9-11 within the squad, then you can worry about applying those Zetas. Until then, they can't really "shine" and would just be a waste.
