In order of my opinion of best to worst:

- Poe, Stresshog and Bandits

Pros:

- TLT Grays and Red Sq

Pros:

Definitly Stresshog. what Paul Heaver said ist true: You need a serious reason not to run it or your list isn't as good as it could be.

I have tried the poe+han list, i prefer r2d2 since you can regenerate even when stressed and you dont need a point for initiative bid. I think it is a good list, field the biggest asteroids and try to split swarms to fight.

I want to try the tlt grays and red sq but dont really know the strenght of this list.

Poe stresshog and bandit, as PHeaver and Admiran Deathrain mention, stresshog is a really solid ship but i am still not sold in any list. You can play PHeaver wolrds list, your list or the panic atack stresshog+tlt ywing+z95+2xB-tactician
