So I can count the amount of games I have played of X wing on one set of hands...so as I make my list for the tournament I am not sure how to make it.
I am torn between taking more rebel ships but with cheaper pilots 4 ships in total. 2 brings 1 scrub X wing and wedge or Luke with swarm tactics...
Or some loaded out being with an escort of xwings. I worry he will become a bullet magnet though...
Is it generally better to have more ships as a rebel or just a lot of concentrated firepower?

It depends on the ships, rebels can be hard. The few times i have played not with empire you will be most likely out number you. Wedge is great, he can put out alot, but will also be a big target. go with what you like have fun and see what happens.

2013 world champion used 2 dagger squadron pilots with advanced sensors to get the actions before moving, a rookie pilot, and Biggs.
Rebels are tough because the ships tend to be more expensive, less maneuverable, and have shields to make up for it.
Rebel stuff I like: Millennium Falcon Wedge Ten Numb with autoblaster Biggs with R2-D2
I was thinking about playing a list of 3 x-wings, but I hesitate because I don't think I have played enough games to know how to use them right.
A-wings are just too expensive for ROF2, though they are fast and maneuverable. B-wings hit hard and can take a number of hits, but they don't turn and take a lot of hits. X-wings are well balanced, but could get outmaneuvered. Y-wings are good for ion cannon turrets, but not much else. HWKs have their uses, but are going to be tough to use right. YT-1300s are tanks...
I would recommend trying to make a balanced list, with 1 or 2 good pilots and bring some cannon fodder with them.
