Do i need to have stresshog?

By TerTer, in X-Wing

If I have 26 points I'll take one, if I have 25 but really like my build I won't make concessions to fit it.

Is stresshog always a goldie with the works? I want to like Horton since he can shoot earlier and help push a little more damage through but what is the general consensus?

A local player has been using a Gray. Probably due to Crack Swarms.
