I have BB8 faster but I seem to fall behind to slower BB8 comps whose R2 goes first. I guess their BB8 gets the speed bonus from R2 already having Secret Intel and I never seem to recover from that...
From what Ive seen, R2 is better. Stealth first means they cant focus down your fragile targets, also with RJT his stealth cooldown is off a lot so it can sometimes lead to constant stealth for your team.
Hmm... this is a very good question. I think having R2 the fastest toon is right 90% of the times. But not sure under a Jedi Rey lead, because you want BB-8´s special as soon as possible.
But I think R2 is still the better choice.
Hiding your Rey and preventing her from getting stunned / fractured / ability blocked is key in most matchups.
I run a slightly faster BB8. If R2 gets stunned by Raid Han(Very Often), RJT gains enough TM to go before R2 and cleanse it(16% from BB8 Secret Intel+8% from R2 getting Stun). R2 then stealths everyone as originally planned without really losing a turn to Stun. If BB8 gets stunned, R2 will still go first and stealth everyone as originally planned.

E: Just make sure your BB8 is second.
