Phoenix --> Empire --> CLS is generally the starting route people recommend. It's hard to argue with.
You should also, on the side, get a team of Scoundrels going for credit/droid heists. You can easily unlock several bounty hunters (IG88, Greedo, Boba Fett, Cad Bane) from the shops and they'll be needed later for Chewbacca and the Millennium Falcon, so that's a good place to start. You can complete the highest ranked heist with like, gear 9 dudes, so it isn't too difficult, and heists are extremely important early on.
Alright, so for Empire I was planning on Vader, Tarkin, Tie Fighter Pilot, Shore Trooper and Death Trooper. I missed out on Palpatine this time around and I don't think I'll be ready for Thrawn in time. Is that a good line up to start with for Empire?
For the bounty hunters, who would you recommend I use as leader for that team?
You're getting a bit ahead of yourself with Shoretrooper, I think. He's a fairly lengthy farm. Deathtrooper will take a while too, as he's a 16 energy cantina node. You'd probably be better off getting easier characters; your Empire squad doesn't need to be very strong to get R2D2, as Palpatine makes the event a joke.
Tarkin and TFP are fine, and Vader isn't too terrible as a fleet store farm. Any of the other Imperial Troopers would also be a decent choice (except Stormtrooper, he isn't great), and would give you a head start on a Troopers team later on.
