I'm not looking for an ultra meta-busting list, so i've narrowed it down to a 3 choices! In order of effectiveness:

1. Why? because it has performed very well in league play.

[ SCUM SQUADRON (100 points)

1 • IG-88B - Push The Limit - "Mangler" Cannon - Fire-Control System - Inertial Dampeners (46)
2 • Black Sun Enforcer - Autothrusters (27)
3 • Black Sun Enforcer - Autothrusters (27)
2. Why? because I like flying the Falcon.
[ REBEL SQUADRON (100 points)
1 • Han Solo - Predator - C-3PO - Luke Skywalker - Millennium Falcon (60)
2 • Green Squadron Pilot - Push The Limit - Chardaan Refit (20)
3 • Green Squadron Pilot - Push The Limit - Chardaan Refit (20)
3. Why? because its x-wings and I want to be *that x-wing list* guy?
[ REBEL SQUADRON (100 points)
1 • Luke Skywalker - R2-D2 - Lone Wolf - Stealth Device (37)
2 • Rookie Pilot (21)
3 • Rookie Pilot (21)
4 • Rookie Pilot (21)

I like your first list best. Second would be better if you could somehow get engine upgrade on Han. The third list is bad. Sorry, but those 3 rookies just ain't gonna cut it. Although bonus points for Luke w/ R2D2 + Lone Wolf. He'd be perfect with engine upgrade ;)

Third list is better against new people.

Third list is better against new people.

Depends on what they fly.

There are basically two 4X lists that might do okay (although not against some of today's 'top' meta builds):

Luke w/ R2-D2 + Draw their Fire

Biggs

2 Rookies

Or

Wedge

Biggs

Rookie

Rookie w/ R2-D2

Why give R2 to the Rookie? Because X-wings die easily, and the first to die will be Biggs (likely while your opponent still has 100% of their list) followed soon after by Wedge (while your opponent likely has at least 50% of their list). The last 2 x-wings, your Rookies, will last longer simply because your opponent's firepower is significantly diminished. R2-D2 can now get good mileage on one of them because your opponent can't bring enough guns to bear to kill him quickly. Or at least that's the theory...
