With Ciara and Allanon, I'm not sure you need Quaid. You could hope for a noise pull if you really want him, but I don't think he's necessary, unless there's a very specific SP build that you want him to have and can't get otherwise.

You could easily have everything from Lara's kit with the units that you have now. Unless you want her for super efficiency or aesthetics, I wouldn't ask for Lara. Elza has a similar high efficiency, with mostly different buffs aside from the Heal over Time, and I feel like she's more versatile with less buff clash. Melord is also very efficient and has better converts, but he does have the downside of needing to manually switch between BB and SBB to get both of them. Lara is much easier for autobattling alongside Sirius and Azurai, and her kit is very convenient for freeing up space for someone else. So I'm kind of on the fence there. Rain and Hisui should also be popular friend leads though, taking up the def conversion role if you want to autobattle with only SBBs, so I think there are several ways to get what Lara does without having her.

Zekt is probably the more unique one, with elemental mitigation, and since he's OE, he'll have an easier time surviving than Allanon would in a similar situation. He's very nice, but not entirely necessary. Out of the three, I think he might be the best choice if you want the least amount of buff clash.

There might be some more options, but it depends on what you're looking for. Personally, I'd consider asking for Zelnite. He's got a nice supplimental kit (BB management + burst heal) that fits well into a lot of squads. Zelnite goes great with Sirius/Lauda/Adriesta, IMHO, and I'm sure there's more nice combinations. He also has an EXP boost in his LS and an item, zel, and karma drop rate buff, which will help for farming. He's not necessary but he is the only OE unit with those buffs, currently :)
