What you prefer for Escalation, or ingeneraly for Juno Eclipse Advanced Targeting Computer or Accuracy Corrector?
I plan to go with following list as it will be my first tournament and I dont even know local meta

ATC. Being able to deal 2 hits all the time is not scary. Adding a crit to every attack is.
Well, i haven't gotten a chance to try that yet, but i feel Juno and AC might actually be slightly better than taking ATC.
ATC requires a target lock which means you will spending actions changing locks (not always but against shiftier ships like Interceptors, etc...) which is why I feel ATC is perfect for Vader always having a second action to acquire a lock. With Juno thou her ability is to constantly modifier her dial picking the ideal maneuver which allows her to have ideal placement (esp with VI). With AC you allow Juno to pick more defensive options. Target lock is an action you will very rarely take. Barrel rolling, evading, and keeping focus tokens for defense allows Juno to stick around longer getting more 2 Hit attacks. (also note if you roll better than 2 hits, say Crit Crit you can keep those results).
While i do agree adding a crit on most attacks is "scary", but it is very possible that you will only be spending that crit in. (spending actions to TL (no focus), or just rolling blanks). AC gives you consistency, and in a tournament setting removing randomness from the game is very powerful. There is a reason why TLTs are so powerful.
Just some food for thought

not to mention moving at PS 10 with Juno's ability you can choose which range you want to be at of which target... even PS 8 (if PTL or pred) is high enough that most targets will have moved before you fire.
my go-to is any PS higher than 7 gets ATC and lower gets AC.

Its not. You really shouldn't be switching targets often with ATC. If you are, you're only hurting yourself. Of course, ultimately, Vader is the best for ATC, but to get Juno working ideally with ATC, you can go PTL + TIE mk 2, or take a fleet officer shuttle alongside her (or palpatine). When Imperial Veterans come out, the options will expand even more.
I will concede that Accuracy Corrector + Juke is worth considering on Juno. You could run her alongside a trio of Omegas w/ Juke + Comms and still have 4 points for an engine or something else on Juno.
ATC, there's no contest.
