If you start with Grand Admiral Rulf Yage, Dash Renegade Smuggler, and Atton 'Jaq' Rand in a squad, I think it gives the Sith a nice little shooter battery, and it's a good base to start with.
But what do you add after that? We had an animated discussion about it in our Save11 Facebook group a while back (Team Krayt was especially adamant), but I'm now working on a squad for my friend, and I wanted some input from Bloomilk.
The other piece I think that is pretty much essential for this squad is Darth Sidious Hologram - giving Force Renewal to all the above is well worth 11 points IMO, and it means you can shoot with GARY if it's safe, and not be so scared about him rolling a 1 and changing teams.
Some options:
Darth Krayt (extra attack for Dash and Atton, although my friend doesn't have him....)
Darth Revan, Sith Lord (initiative control, movement breaker)
Darth Zannah (big damage soak while the shooters shoot)
Klatooinian Captain (speed 8 and evade for Dash and Atton)
Darth Bandon (+10 damage for adjacent attacks, can force grip 2 almost continuously with Sidiogram)
Czerka (can give twin to GARY and Jolt to Jaq, and you can maybe add some other shooters in (like Chadra Fan Pilots) to benefit from her)
What do you guys think works best?

Out of those options, I'd take the Klatooinian Captain and Bandon. That's 136 so far. I'd actually consider fleshing the rest out with Lobot and some Cantina pieces - they're mostly good. It can be risky not having a decent beat, but having good activations should never be underestimated. I've lost several games where I really regretted having to move everyone before my opponent even started thinking about their damage dealers!

I love putting them with Krayt, but since your friend doesn't have him, I'd suggest the Klatoo Captain, Sidogram, Lobot, maybe Exar Force Spirit for Atton. I do like the Revan idea though too.

During playtesting for the last set, I had a Sith squad that was centered around Atton, Bandon, Zannah, and the new Maul. Exar FS on Atton was awesome.
Although Bandon is a good addition to any Sith squad, I would honestly consider someone like Zannah instead. Less synergy, sure, but she can draw a tremendous amount of heat.

Darth Malak
Darth Bandon
Klatoonian Captain
Holosid.
The shooters have very high speeds. Dash can move 10 and do 120 damage. You also put out 50 direct damage a round.

I concur with Weeks. I'm not totally sold on Bandon, but with using Holo-Sid, plus the +10 damage he's should work well. Malak is key though, especially for helping Dash.

Thank you for the ideas - Darth Malak DLotS is actually a really good idea - when I think about it, Dash is still only attacking at +10, even with GARY.
Unfortunately, my friend doesn't have him either, but I do think he's worth considering as a purchase, as opposed to Darth Krayt, where this is the only type of build he's even marginally useful in.

Unless you are being a completist, you don't need to buy Malak. Use the old one or craft one from a Nautolaun Soldier's body, Imp Knight's cape (Removable) and a touched up head of a Pretoriate Vong Warrior or Advanced agent Officer. Add a little paint on the jaw and voila. At least that is how I see it. :)

 sorry but I'm so goofy, that at first I thought GARY was a future V-set piece, based on the Gary the stormtrooper from Robot Chicken's Star Wars episodes  thank God you don't have my brain
