Your choice of crew all depend on how you which to play the game. If you wish to do a lot of fights I recommend a build with more strength than Intelligence. If you plan to do a lot of dance offs then I recommend a build with more Intelligence than strength. If you plan to do a lot of both fights and dance offs then I recommend a balanced build with equal strength and intelligence(for tier 3 this would nursing students and small town goddesses).
It also depends what you want. Fights will get you on VIP, so go with a strength build. Good luck with that though Dance-off's bring home the bacon so an intel build would do just fine.
You will be more likely to be hit if you use lob sided stats so if you aren't going to be active, I recommend running a balanced set up. If you are going to be active then you might find success in lob sided stats but always be prepared to get hit.
