I just fly them in formation (pretty challenging with AA on the strikers). I literally don’t care who they shoot first...

I think Seyn and Hask synergise really well together. If I may, an Imperial spanner in the thermal exhaust - I've been toying around with the idea of this:

Darth Vader (65)
Hate (3)
Fire-Control System (2)
Afterburners (6)

“Pure Sabacc” (44)
Predator (2)
Shield Upgrade (6)

Gideon Hask (30)
Juke (5)

Seyn Marana (30)
Juke (5)
Total: 198

You've got 3x I4 pilots so nice flexibility in terms of who shoots first etc. - Seyn's ability to push through damage to give Hask his 3rd red die is great - plus with both TIEs running Juke they can strip green tokens off enemies to help Sabaac hit as hard as possible. Shield on Sabaac makes sense as you keep his red dice higher slightly longer (in theory) and again, Predator to push his damage numbers up.

Low bid (2 pts) as many lists in my area meta below I5 don't enter the bid war and Vader does not care about I5 bids.
