Any thoughts and suggestions appreciated. I prefer Redline to have (AD + BR) but I feel Vader, Redline and Delta Squadron Pilot May be more efficient?

The first one.

Is that because of the Advanced Sensors + Barrage with Redline or the better overall survivalibity of it?

Generally if you're flying Vader, you should be paying the premium for Supernatural, etc.

Either find the points to make Vader, Vader, or find another pilot.

Hmm. I don’t think Supernatural Reflexes is as needed as others believe. Vader has 3 Force charges can use one to get the double action needed, and still use FCS properly while having the 2 Force charges to use for additional offense and/or defense. Personal with Initative being so important (Heighten Perception) is just as strong and possibly more important especially against super aces.

I just think that if you make the first one work it is better

How about both?

Vader (SuperRef, FCS)

Whisper (Juke)

Redline (AdSen, Barrage)

What if you put cluster missiles in redline, you get range 0,1,2,3; you have only one less shot than barrage, you have a special effect and you have another missile slot.

isn't it better?
