My current arena team consists of Bastila, Ezra, Old Ben and Kanan. I'm only level 84 and haven't unlocked GMY yet, who will eventually take the 5th slot. Kanan will be replaced by Revan down the line. For now, I could either use Ahsoka or Anakin, who are both geared up and ready.
Anakin is faster, and I could amp his speed up to 220 with Ahsoka's current mods. But Ahsoka's basic does more damage and her special can be pretty brutal when it crits. Her healing is usually pointless, but can come in handy every once in a while. On the other hand, Anakin's area attack has its uses, especially in combination with Righteous Fury.
I'd be leaning towards Anakin if it wasn't for the fact that Bastila almost always buffs him instead of Ezra on auto / defense. She seems to have a thing for the tallest guy on the team (or whoever stands in the upper right corner on offense), unless that person is a tank. When I swap him out for Ahsoka, she buffs Ezra at least half the time on auto.
What should I do? Go with Ahsoka, whose speed is still at 176 despite +83 speed mods, or pull off her mods and put a 220 speed Anakin on the team? He'd be the fastest team member. Not sure if it's a good thing when he goes before Ezra (217 / +86) and Bastila (208 / +88). I can't make either of them any faster with my current selection of mods.

I use her in Fleet as a Hound's Tooth counter. She wouldn't need particularly good mods as a pilot, but it's a great gear argument. They both need the same hypo syringes and fusion furnaces for g9.
I'm not sure they're necessary with Old Ben's ability block. I guess I could use Anakin's healing/buff immunity strategically once OB's debuffs wear off. So far, I've been mostly focused on taking out key enemies ASAP, and Ahsoka's special really helps in that department.
Although... can buff immunity prevent tanks from taunting? If so, that would tip the scales in favor of a fast Anakin.
In PVE, he's great against large groups of weaker mobs (weaker than arena opponents anyway). Especially with Bastila's Rally buffs. I don't think I could have won the Ground Wars bonus tier without him yesterday. But I'm not sure how useful it is in arena. Usually, it just takes 1/5 off the protection bars. But it can be helpful when you have a high-priority target down to 5% health, and then a tank taunts and you have no dispel ready.
I've found Anakin useful in raids too as leader for a mixed clone / leftover Jedi team, so the gear on him is not wasted even if I never get around to level up his ship. Which is not bad either, but I have too many LS ships already. I need to focus on my DS ships to star up the Executrix.
Now there's an idea. I'm sure it would help on offense, but how does it hold up on defense? I thought two tanks would help protect my zetaed Ezra. But until I have a zeta on Bastila too (5 more mats to go), he may be dead anyway before either tank gets a chance to taunt. Maybe making counterattacks more punishing by having 3 attackers is the way to go.
I have not There's another argument for having both of them on the team. With the crit. hit immunity she gets from Anakin, she's unlikely to lose her bonuses. I guess I'll split Kanan's fastest mods between Ahsoka and Old Ben and use one less tank like Waqui suggested.
If you zeta bast he's not bad for the open taunt and counter attack.
That's if you don't have OB or GK
Looking great, @darth_DeVito. Have fun! :-)
Get a Zeta on Bastila and things will become much more fun 👍
I wish I could say that (read: I wish hadn't spent as much as I did in the first weeks ). But I bought lots of fluff that I'm sure will come back to bite me in GA.
