Rey is considerably hampered by debuffs. Currently, the game has a lot of debuffers. If you're gonna keep Rey, then you need to plan to get a tenacity up hero as well.
Rey isn't a bad hero at the beginning though. And she is still a solid DPS toon. No problem with getting Rey to start with.
IMO Rey isn't horrible starting character... DPS is great. I used her all the time in GW.
She just not that useful in arena or Haat raid.
If you were to keep rerolling, I would say QGJ is a great starting character. His dispel is a life saver early on and his assist attacks is decent DPS.
Rey is decent, but I would look for someone like Wedge, or someone else you can't get until higher levels. A rebel team is easy for a new player to make, Lando in Cantina, Biggs in GW, STH in Arena, Wedge is the only one you can't get until 69. So if you start with him 4* you have a huge advantage.
Won't lie, I put her in tank raid with Bariss and Phasma and hero dejour and I can still pull 700K with a secondary team.
My kid pulled Wedge on his account and he's advanced pretty fast. It's a bit easier to get GW tokens and get Biggs then it is to deal with grinding 4* wedge from Cantina, I think. He's not competing against anything - but he can 'not' compete easier with Wedge, I think.
'Re-rolling' is a waste of time. Just start farming the toons you want. Rey will eventually be relevant again and you'll be glad you have her when she is. After all, the last Jedi is only months away.
I used Rey in HAAT P3 with Teebo, Palp, RG, St Han until I unlocked TFP and replaced her. She did well on that team. Still gives too much TM to the B2 though.

Unless it's Rey - starkiller base - which is a totally different toon - and old rey got all her love with her Zeta, and that's it.
keep re-rolling until you get the perfect starter character, only to find out the whole top100 decided to buy crystals like there is no tomorrow.
Atleast you had the perfect starter character!
Rey is still great as a starting pull, easily int he top 10% of what you could have gotten. What are you going to do, spend countless hours re-rolling until you get Baze? My time, and presumably yours, is worth more than that.

wedge is a solid YES
Lando is a bit worse, but still better then Rey
perchance you could draw a Chirrut? )
Raid's I think she's a mixed bag. For rancor, she gives too much TM and for AAT she's debuffed half the time.

Started a new game, I assume.
