What is it you'd like to achieve? If you just want a selection of cool stuff then go for the cards you've mentioned - but if you're a completest then you need to pick your battles.
A set of the first 12 or 20 on Harberts is a near impossible task. Han is incredibly tough, with only a handful known to exist.
Poch/Pbp cards look amazing, but again a complete set is impossible.
Meccano starts to enter the realms of at least being possible - the 12bk cards are very tough once and some like Luke are easily £10k figures in high grade. The 20bks are more sensible, but still a massive challenge.
With all of these, you need to leave aspirations of an AFA85 set at the door - I don't think it would be a possible goal. Some of the biggest Meccano collectors still have partially opened cards in their collections because MOCs just arent available.
If looking at 20 back Meccano cards (square ones) or 12 & 20 Harbert cards what should be a general grade expectation?
Are the 12 back Meccano cards (rectangular ones) especially difficult to locate because I have not seen any yet?
Thanks for your help
