I'm not usually crazy about Sturm, but if I can get her into that sweet spot and the boss fruitlessly tries to shoot her for the rest of the battle, I know I'll win.

Now then...my own question. I'm at the point where I have 15 5*s (one of them the meh one from the last event). My secretary is and shall remain the lovely 4* Petra (until I simply can't justify running her any more). With more event 5*s on the way, and of course monthly login/factory 5*s, should I start being more picky about which 5*s I pick up for blueprints? As for heavy 5*s, I got T30 (Nira) for my last login 5* How is IS-3 Alyona compared to her? I'm usually more of a fan of mediums...but a new 5* is still a new 5*. Should I buy Alyona?
If you want my opinion on the "best" 5*s that you almost certainly don't want to miss:
Heavy: honestly, none are true "must-haves" but I think Conqueror and Chieftain are the best since the 7 cost invincibles are hard to justfiy
Medium: Most of them are good, only ones I'd definitely skip are Comet and T-44. Personal favorites are Super Pershing, Leopard 1a1, Type 59 and Strid though most of the ones with "Ace" as active are great
Light: AMX-13's buff is great, Satan (event) is good assassin/evade tank, rest are eh
Destroyer: FV4005 and Jagdpanther are tops, Sturmtiger is good ONLY if you have the 4-5* emblems to gear her up well, Jagdtiger and Ho-Rii OK
Artillery: S-51 and Panzer (event). Maybe T92 if you like area stun as a skill instead of devastation
