When should I start using Bistan’s U-Wing?

It’s always the best questions which have the least responses.

10 shards short of 7* and making the switch when both crew are at g10. It starts stealthed which helps. I usually place #1 on my shard with no more than 1 refill on rough days.

Bistan's U-wing does not start stealthed, it gains stealth after it uses its special or when it reinforces.
To the OP, I'd recommend starting Bistan once he's geared up enough to be faster than your opponents' Home 1 at a minimum, and faster than their Falcon before you leave it in on defense. Which will probably mean G12 for both pilots, depending on how far along your opponents are. The problem with Bistan is he's VERY squishy, and he will die in one hit from ackbar's special, so he needs to be stealthed or else your opponent gets a free 2 v 3. If he's not faster than your opponent's falcon, they will 100% of the time use the falcon's super stealth move before bistan, preventing him from nuking the falcon. Most likely you're facing Hound's Tooth and Biggs, since they're the next-best team after Bistan, which means that there's not really anyone for you to pick on once the Falcon gains stealth (and, if you use your falcon first and call an assist against their falcon, it won't kill it but it will fill up your opponent's HT's turn meter, which will then taunt, preventing you from killing the falcon).
