DICE TABLES:

Cheap
Easy to make, Easy to modify.
Saves time
Produces essentially the same effect as cards

CARDS:

Expensive
Takes significant time and effort to make (even if pdf printed)
Allows mission secrecy (loose lips explode ships)
Can look really cool.

I'd suggest some combination of the two.

Deployment guides can be absent from some missions, optional for some,
and
mandatory for others.

I'd want to put the VIP on a fighter escorted shuttle to the strongest
hulled ship I had ASAP.

You stop hating on the Lollipop Guild's merchant convoys. Don't be a
Vader-Hater just because you can't beat the Imperial Star Destroyer or
the
Glinda Class Cruiser.
