I think Corran is a strong choice - you could even try a VI version for maximum arc-dodging capability:
Corran
(50)
R2-D2
FCS
Engine
VI
Proton Torpedoes
The absolute strongest choice, though, is clearly Omega Leader:
Omega Leader
(30)
Shield Upgrade
Comm Relay
Juke
You'll win every engagement there is, except possibly a Kylo Upsilon with Gunner, VI and HotCop. Every other match up is easily won.
