I'm just starting out and still building up my collection, so some of these loadouts are still sub-optimal. For the record, I own a Core Set, Imperial Aces, Rebel Aces, and a Tie Fighter.

Phantom (99)

"Whisper" (44) - TIE Phantom

Push The Limit (3), Fire Control System (2), Recon Specialist (3), Advanced Cloaking Device (4)

"Howlrunner" (24) - TIE Fighter

Swarm Tactics (2), Shield Upgrade (4)

Academy Pilot (16) - TIE Fighter

Shield Upgrade (4)

Academy Pilot (15) - TIE Fighter

Hull Upgrade (3)

Whisper has PTL mainly so I can get full use of Recon Specialist and still have the option to barrel roll if needed. ACD for survival and FCS so I can get full use out of the 4 dice cannon. I don't yet have Veteran Instincts, but I'm seriously thinking of swapping PTL for it when I can and dropping FCS for Enhanced Scopes; I figure being able to move first will allow me to jump past blockers and VI means always shooting first.

Howlrunner's pack is not ideal; I want to drop all the hull/shield upgrades for a fourth tie; I just don't own one yet and would prefer to diversify my ship/upgrade options over spamming Academy Pilots.

Is the theory sound, and what purchases would you recommend to build it out? Secondarily, can Whisper run well with Interceptor aces?
