As a starting player, Biggs is useless. He only becomes useful once you can farm Wedge. Phasma is probably the best toon to get first from GW. She's useful in arena at lower levels, in GW always and in AAT raid. Teebo if you want to get scores on Rancor. Lumi is decent: she's a great early game healer, and a useful Jedi.
Other than that, I would always work on Boba, Lando and STHan for credit heist. Those three can basically do it alone: add any two other scoundrels you like. They also make a good basis for an early game arena team.
From guild store, start farming Rex: another all around useful toon. Darth Maul is the meta of the day, but isn't all that useful by himself, and farming a sith team is not something you'll do overnight. You'll also want Palpatine for that, so see below. Another option from the guild store is Jyn, but she's harder to just throw into a team.
Wiggs (Wedge+Biggs) is an easy to farm staple for midgame. They're useful everywhere in the game until endgame arena. I suggest farming Biggs as your second GW toon and getting Wedge from Cantina as soon as you can. I wouldn't buy him from fleet shipments, as there's too many other high priority items there. Vader, Rex and Chirrut shards, and ships blueprints.
Wiggs+Lando+STHan+1 (Leia or Ackbar, usually) can easily get you Palp and 3* most story nodes. They also make a decent arena team until zetas and pre-taunters come into the picture.
On the dark side, Sith and Empire are currently very strong. Vader, Palp and TFP are some of the strongest toons in the game right now. However, the dark side meta relies on zetas. Even so, it's worth farming toons like Maul, Kylo, Sid and RG for a good DS team. Try to stick with a theme, though, and Empire is more useful than Sith, because of mod challenges and occasional events.
You'll eventually want to prepare for ships as well. Luckily Boba, Rex, JC, Wedge, Biggs, Maul and Vader all have good ships, and Ackbar makes a good capital for them.
Finally, you'll need Jedi to unlock 5dot mods from the store (by completing their mod challenges). The best Jedi are QGJ, Aayla, JKA, IGD, Barriss, Yoda and Ahsoka (GK of course, but you'll want this team before you have a hope of unlocking GK. Maybe Ezra, but not farmable right now). The easiest to farm are Mace, Lumi, JC, QGJ and Ahsoka. Eeth Koth as well, but please don't. JKA, Barriss, QGJ and Aayla can be useful outside a full Jedi team. Note that this is not a futile waste of time in any case: you'll want Jedis for AAT raid, and a strong Jedi team can reach top Arena ranks. Old Ben is another Jedi worth considering, but imho he's not much good. Except perhaps to beat LS9B, which is a very niche use for a toon.
Other than that it's up to you to discover what you enjoy, who you like playing with and what you want to focus on.
