Kanan, outside of the fact that he's one of the slowest characters in the game, is underrated on Jedi squads. He heals when debuffed, cleanses teammates, counters/applies offense down, and has a decent taunt.
I'm not arguing for top-arena usefulness in any way but if you're deploying in GA/TW/TB, Kanan under zBastila can be a pain. Phoenix get mauled in all those events anyway.
I just wish you didn't need 100+ speed to get him to 200. It's brutal.
In this case, however; I have to agree with others. Use Old Ben.

He cleanse phoenix only.
Intervene (his taunt) cleanses any ally. Total Defense cleanses all Phoenix allies, but only if you zeta it. Otherwise he only cleanses himself.
I agree with the other posters who recommend Old Ben. Until you unlock GK, he's the best tank. However, out of those two I'd pick Kanan. I've used him as a second tank under Bastila until I replaced him with zJolee recently. If you can get him close to 200 speed, he isn't bad at all.
My 4 star Juhani is somewhat geared up but I only ever use her in TW on a second Jedi team. Aside from her stun, her kit is really underwhelming imho. And her stun is often resisted since her base potency is really low compared to, say, KRU.
@Darth_DeVito was just looking on .GG and realized not a single Jedi inflicts Tenacity Down. Would solve a bunch of problems, like the one you mentioned.
Juhani is kind of a weird tank. Taunts but loses it to gain stealth. I know she's self healing but not in a really good way.

He cleanse phoenix only.
His first special cleanses one selected ally.

Oooops totally fogot about that.
Someone on my arena shard uses Mace as a second tank. It was a shock to see him taunt under zBastila. At first I thought I had missed a rework.
