Thrawn lead or Palp lead?

I would also suggest that if you were torn between bastila or palpatine, choose Bastila. She is a direct counter to Palatine as his only strength is giving turnmeter or health recovery to empire/sith inflicting debuffs, but with Bastila's zeta, as long as Jedi have protection up, they get 100% tenacity, which makes it almost impossible to inflict a debuff. If you have a Bastila with Ezra and Grandmaster Yoda, a good tank and another jedi, its pretty much game over for palpatine teams.
P.s. I know from experience since I have a palpatine team, I went from being in the top 50 to top 500....
