First off let's go over a few that can be earned through Epic Call, then I'll discuss ones you can get through orbs.
Androids 16/17/18: Though 16 is relatively strong early on, they're not useful long term for anything besides buffing Broly SS (in 16's case). Don't waste potions or orbs for them, and don't put too much weight on them. They're difficult to buff and have a SPI Fate spec instead of an ATK Fate spec, so they're ineffective.
Cell I/II: They're stronger than the androids, but again, have an SPI Fate spec. I wouldn't build a team around them either, but they could be useful early.
Dabura: Useful for buffing Majin Vegeta so try to get him, but not many other positives.
Supreme Kai: Not useful for much of anything.
Cooler: Another one that's good early but useless long term.
Piccolo: Best used to buff Goku from an SPI or DEF ginyu slot. Level him with divine waters in Ginyu and he'll give you a good return.
Goku SS-Semi-easy to buff, great base stats, he's a good character that can be helpful long term if you can get his gear, which shows up in events often.
Vegeta SS-You get him for free and can VERY easily get his Galick Gun buff, so use some potions on him for attack and prepare to keep him for a while. His Durable Armor is also easy to get through events, like the recent scratch event, and his battle gloves can be gotten in guild shop.
Goten SS-Try for him, because unlike Goku SS and Gohan SS he can't be earned with energy orbs. He's a good character, but not amazing. He's very helpful early, especially with super clan, but past that he's too difficult to buff beside Goku SS to be useful. Move him to an attack or defense ginyu.
Kid Trunks SS-If you plan on keeping him long term start with potions early, because his defense is awful. It's somewhat easy to get Heir buff, and the Big Bang buff is automatic for some reason, so he's got 2 buffs there and can be effective long term. However, only his belt shows up semi-often in events, with his other gear being rare, so he may not be the BEST long term investment.
Uub-If You can get his gear and Kid Buu, he can be effective, but overall he's best used as an early hitter and you can lose him down the road since he doesn't buff anyone important and isn't buffed too easily.
Kid/Good Buu-If you're going to build a Buu team, it can be very effective with all of them. They're easy to buff with each other. However, don't expect that team to continue being competitive forever, as eventually you'll need to replace a lot of them and put them in ginyu.
Kibito/Kibito Kai-Though they've got an ATK Fate spec, they're spirit based and not effective. Kibito isn't effective ever, and Kibito Kai is only effective with his gear and with Kibito in Ginyu. Kibito Kai can be helpful early, but not a good long term investment, unless you have an unlimited supply of potions.
Bardock SS-Low defense makes him best used to buff Goku SS, despite what most people believe. He's average overall, and good early, but long term he's ineffective due to difficult gear to obtain and lower than usual base stats.

Now, I'll address energy orb hero options, and what your goal should be based on your first heroes. Overall, I'll start with whether you should or shouldn't pursue them with orbs, then explain why.
Majin Vegeta-YES. Personally, I don't use my energy orbs until I get Vegeta SS so I can rush to Majin Vegeta as fast as possible. Majin Vegeta is a great character, both early and long term, especially in old worlds where Grand Supreme Kai was given for free. If you have Dabura, that's icing on the cake, as it gives him a second early buff in addition to galick gun from hard mode. He's a good early option to pursue with souls.
Goku SS-YES. Good option to pursue, but only if you already have Goten SS and Gohan SS.
Vegeta SS-NO. Useless to go after him since you get him for free on day 7.
Android ANYTHING-NO. Don't burn your orbs on an android. Not worth it, there are better options.
Kid Trunks SS-NO. Easily gainable through other means, only pursue if necessary for Heir buff.
Cell Form F-NO. ONLY useful if you already have both 1 and 2. He's strong, but other options are stronger for the same orb price.
Dabura-NO. Only pursue if you absolutely need him because you're building a royal saiyan team and need to buff Majin Vegeta. Otherwise he's not very helpful and you shouldn't waste your orbs.
Super/Evil Buu-MAYBE. They can be helpful if you're building a Buu team. Be careful though, as eventually they (especially Super Buu, with his bad skill) become obsolete.
Buu (Gohan)-YES. One of the better characters you can get from orbs, a great skill with good defense and spirit makes him very effective, especially in a Buu team. It's a good idea to pursue him if you have Evil Buu.
King Cold-NO. I....I don't even know why he's here. Don't. Just don't.
Gohan SS-YES. One of the EASIEST heroes to buff, since Training gears are easy to get, there are often events for Trunks SS souls, and you're GIVEN S. Kamehameha. That's 3 buffs right there, plus one for super clan if you have Goten and Goku. He has AMAZING potential as a well rounded hero, especially since his defense is so easy to buff. If you get Gohan early, pursue him ASAP!
Gohan/Trunks-NO. They only exist as a place to put your first orbs when you start with Kid Gohan or Kid Trunks. They're not worth pursuing unless you have Goku SS and Goten SS and NEED Gohan SS but can't get Gohan in Gohan's case. Trunks is rarely ever worth it. Bear in mind, if you get one of these from orbs, you could've been halfway to a S rated instead.
Goku (Heaven)-NO. He's good, but his main use is to open the door for SS2 Goku now. He's hard to buff unless you have his gear, so he's not exactly the best option. He looks good on paper, but when you consider it takes about 3x as many souls to get him as another S rated from souls, he doesn't look as appealing.
Any SS2 Saiyan-YES. Once you have a good team set up you can start pursuing the 4 SS2 Saiyans (Goku, Gohan, Trunks, and Vegeta). If you have Majin Vegeta, Vegeta SS2 can buff him. Otherwise, just aim for the one you prefer, as they're mainly buffed by each other. Bear in mind, they take a TON of orbs per soul compared to others.
