I'd say go Rebel to start with, since the Resistance hasn't been announced yet and we don't know when it will be playable (though a preview article could change that any time).

And the good news is, the Resistance Conversion Kit is probably going to be a lot cheaper since it only covers a few ships, so you could do both!

Just keep in mind that the Core Set is $40 and the rebel conversion kit is $50, although those are MSRP. You can get them for notably cheaper than the standard $90 from sites like Miniature Market.
