I have a few from which to choose, so I'm looking for some advice on which ones I should work on.

My 5* choices are:

Cerys, FV214 Conqueror
Amelie, ARL44
Alyona, IS-3
Nira, T30
Vitaliya, IS-7
Ulyana, Object 279 (+20% XP boost)

And then I suppose I need to learn how to best employ them.
Conqueror and Object are my recommendations. The IS series is good for rushing to the front lines if your tanks in front are falling, before your squishy backliners get wrecked, but otherwise their stats are inferior (decent secondary tanks). ARL44 is OK but I prefer Conqueror for that. T30 sucks (a heavy who traded durability for lackluster dps)

Using heavies is easy. Drop them first, then your Artillery/TD (or Medium tanks with high range like Centurion or Strid). Really, pretty much their only purpose is meatshield, so if you aren't dropping them first so they're in front, you're doing it wrong.
