To eat or not to eat

I'm adding a picture of my active squads to ask who would be best to use for food and a picture of my food options for Leshy. I'm wondering who will end up being good for my team when I can ascend them eventually. If you can help by giving me an alternative as well in case I need the second one for ascension. I'm keeping DE, though. If I should wait then I'd obviously wait. But I just pulled two Leshy recently and I'm excited to level him up! Thank you in advance 🙂
