If you're confident in your pilot ability and would love a crazy challenge, there's also Fearlessness, which works for both arcs. It's a free solid hit instead of reducing their agility, but it's trickier to line up the shot. I've been meaning to try it, but I worry it's not likely to come into play all that often.

On the more practical end, if you have Boost, I'd say PTL has a lot of merit. If you boost to position your arc for a shot and are successful in lining them up, it's great to also be able to focus for the low cost of a stress token. Next turn you can perform a green or white and not be hurt much (even if you miss your next action), and your focused shot vs -1 agility could be devastating. Likewise, with boost it can be very advantageous to take Veteran Instincts to outfly all but the aciest of aces. They can't arc-dodge you quite as well, and you can more easily boost to line them up. And agile aces hate tail gunner...

Depending on what else flies with you (e.g. not a swarm), Lone Wolf works well for a firespray's stats. You'll live longer and enjoy a near-predator-like boost to every attack. But you have to avoid allies, which isn't always viable.
