Yeah, TIEs are tough to ships to give mods to. You're not gaining MUCH more survivabilty with them if you give them a Shield Upgrade or Hull Upgrade. Targeting Computer is difficult as they don't have enough attack die to really get the most out of rerolls, and they NEED to focus to survive hits or barrel roll to stay out of arc, so the action could be better spent. Stealth Device is typically used on expensive, highly manuverably ships like Baron Sootnir Fel that are worth 2-3 times as much as a stock TIE and are deadly shots, or on ships that are key to your formation like Howlrunner.

Dark Curse + Stealth Device is definitely a good combo, as is Backstabber + Engine Upgrade against more agile ships (don't bother against turret ships like Y-Wings and the Falcon/Outrider, though).

At the end of the day if you've got a TIE swarm, you just need to ask yourself if would you rather give 2 or 3 of them mods, or would you rather have another TIE on the board?
