I was able to pick up my first 2 Y-Wings this afternoon and was wondering if the 2 named pilots in this set are any good? If so what builds do you suggest for them.

I've been having some success, but lots of fun, with this list:

HIGH-IMPACT TORPS V.3

Originally I had Wedge shooting before the others, but it was a liability, and he wasn't all that sturdy. Luke has some more staying power and fires at PS 8 like the others. Jan's upgrades (Engine, Determination and Nien Nunb) were hardly used, so once again I opted for staying power in Chewbacca.

There are lots of people that think running Horton without an Ion Cannon Turret is silly, but when Luke is gone and Horton has fired his torps, guess who's rolling three attack dice (thanks to Jan) and able to reroll blanks at ranges 2-3? Yep, good ol' General Salm. It catches people by surprise how deadly his primary attack can be with Jan's firepower boost.

Ill give it a shot. I have yet to use ships with turrets as im new to the game. Ill try both and see how I like it.

I really like that list, actually. Does indeed sound like fun.

Try this out. It's a bit dated but a lot of fun.
