>Rick is kinda better than Chester
There's a LOT of disinformation on the Internet about who's better than who since it's not only based on limited personal experience, but by what point in the game is sampled as stat growth curves are very different across characters (one character may be "weaker" than another at a certain level, but ultimately catch up or even surpass them at higher levels).

Overall since the objective strongest Force doesn't exist, you should mostly pick the characters that are appealing to you (with a couple exceptions you'll have a hard time without or with). Sadly there's not a lot of characterization in the game except for a handful of main characters so you'll mostly be going Shining Tinder and simply pick whoever looks cool in their portrait.
