Ship advice (Rebels)

Not sure which forum this should be in!
I’m currently about 40th most days in Ship Arena.
I’m running

Home One 6* Ackbar 85, nearly G11
Starting Trio - 7* Biggs, 6* Phantom and 6* TFP
Reinforcements: all 6* JC, Ghost and Wedge

All my 6* ships are close to 7*
I run Empire as my Arena team and before that Phoenix - so they are all well geared, especially my Empire toons.

Questions!
1) If I stick with Rebels - running a Target lock team - would Bistans ship work better than TFP? I have it at 6* but SRP needs work...it would obviously get the x2 bonus from Home One.
2) If not then would Tie-Advanced be better than TFP? My Vader is nearly G12
3) I’m working on Cassians ship as a reinforcement counter to Boba....who would he replace Wedge or JC? (JC is awesome if used right).

Thanks!

    I run Thrawn but will switch to Akbar when he is geared. Finish 1-20 December 2016 shard depending if I am lazy.

    My team:

    Biggs g11, Ghost g9.6, Vader g12 ->Phantom* g9.3, FOTP*g11, Cassian g8, TFP g11.

    If I were you I would swap Ghost and Phantom in your lineup, but need to max Phantom's reinforce. Ghost helps prevent Target Locks and Phantom's reinforce is arguably the best.

    To change to full rebels:

    I am 99% sure that a maxxed Bistan is even faster than TFP and can replace Vader. He does not hit as hard though. Wedge may be able to replace TFP and Resistance Pilot as the 4th.

    The issue with rebels is that 4 of their ships require 10 pilots -most of which have questionable usefulness in other parts of the end-game. That is just a crushing investment.

    Well - 6 of them (Phoenix) are already G9-10
    The others.....I need a Rogue One Team For Territory War/Battles so not a total loss!
    Not sure how well (Jyn, Cassian,K2,SRP,Bistan) they will work as a five some in those phases though??

    Check out the Admiral Snackbar lineup on YouTube. Biggs, TIE Advanced, and Bistan. It's nice because you don't have to rely on RNG for Target Lock. I haven't run it myself - don't have Bistan yet - but it looks promising.

    As far as RIs go, Phantom has a great maxed RI bonus by reducing the cooldown of reinforcing, and Cassian is an amazing reinforcement. Ghost can round you out.
