I'm seeing here that I should have max affected and evolved at least 1 or 2 characters by now instead of having say 20 Knights in their 30's with about 10 in the 40's/50's. Given enough grinding I think I can fix it, really just need to rack up levels and dragons on the 5 and 6 stars.

So...that being said...I have 2 4*s at lvl 50 98% affection and 2 6*'s lvl 47 and 51, the 51 at 98% affection. Should I go ahead and evolve the 4*s or holdout resources for the 6*s??

If you're looking to build your squads, it's not a bad idea to evolve a few 4* to fill holes in your teams until you get units to replace them. The resources needed aren't huge (100k in coins and 1 large dragon) - I mean if that's a huge chunk of your money then yes hold out, but I found it easy enough to replace that. I found it much easier to get together the dragons for silvers. Past evolution, I only leveled mine to 30-40 or so, i.e. what I could do with the lvl 5 manyus and maybe a few lvl 20s.
There are significant advantages to having 4 squads that are reasonably strong - the helper may be getting you through tough maps for now but you'll stand a better chance of collecting more items/chests if all of your squads can get through pest nodes, and a better chance of three-medalling maps as well (which means more FGs for current event maps.
