Should I farm NS initiate or IG-86?

I've recently got Lumi to seven stars, and I noticed I've drifted away from frequently using Phasma in my GW squad. These two, initiate and 86, both appear equally appealing.

Initiate has spectacular health and ok speed, with nice crit chances (on paper at least) but low damage multipliers, according to swgohdb.
IG-86 looks like he has ok health and speed, but with impressive damage and an assist to stand out.

I'm not planning to make a full Nightsister team in the foreseeable future. I HAVE unlocked poggle and 88, though the latter is untrained, so a full droid team is also out of my grasp. Someone told me the meta could change to favor high hp toons, but that's only a possibility.

At 7* max gear w/ Poggle at lead, IG86's special ability can crit for over 15k and that's not including the assist.

I have him 7* max gear and he does 12k max, but he does more than enough damage to kill most characters:

IG-86

86's special read "One shot a not tanky character". Also ,i love when GS calls assist on 86 (70 7*)

IG-86

Nightsister Initiate is one of the worst choice of GW shipment, to my mind. One can regard her buff immunity as a counter to some characters but... Even with Asajj lead, she goes after a plenty of characters that makes her buff immunity pretty useless. If you're looking for characters with great HP pool in GW shipment, both Tuskan Raider and Teebo seem more viable.

His ability says that it does 75% more damage if an assisting character is also a droid. Are you talking about an ordinary crit or a crit when IG-88 or HK-47 assists?
