While Shin no Aku has given good advice, it's not completely accurate. If you do intend to play FGO for a long period of time, or you believe you will, material costs will be a non issue, you will have enough materials to max the skills of pretty much every SSR and SR you manage to get, the problem, and the ONLY problem will be the amount of QP necessary to upgrade those servants. A good advice is to always keep enough QP to max a single SSR and have some change left, the best amount is between 250M and 350M QP.

If you're pondering between BB and Tamamo, to be perfectly honest, while Tamamo might have better synergy with quite a few other servants, she isn't as useful as before, since many bosses don't allow for stalling, much less NP spamming outside of farming during events and the main story bosses before the lostbelts. Plus, as he said, she's part of the permanent pool of SSRs, meaning, she WILL spook you at some point. BB is the best choice out of the two, besides having an incredible set of skills, she's the only SSR mooncancer of the game besides Jinako (Ganesha). Her NP might be weak, but then again, against Avengear teams, she's a beast.

Also, beware of wasting tickets, if you have a few, don't use them unless you're aiming for event CEs, only ever use tickets if you have 50 of them or more, which will give you a bit over a 38% chance to get a rateup SSR upon spending the first 50. The ideal amount of SQ without tickets to spend on a banner for an SSR is around 570-600 SQ, which nets you an effective chance of 83% to pull the/a rateup SSR. If you have the tickets, you only need around 420 SQ. If you do as I say, you WILL get the limited rateup SSR for EVERY event with an 83% chance, meaning, you WILL get the SSRs 4 out of 5 events! Still, it is still possible to not get the SSRs consistently, you could go with 3 events without them, but the next 15 you will have them, since it's incredibly difficult to move away from the normal distribution. (this means, it's VERY unlikely for someone to go without an SSR in this scenario. Can it happen? YES, how often can this happen? 1 in every milion players can have this happen to them, probably much rarer, but I'd have to calculate it and I won't bother).

tldr, be wise, save up SQ, spend on the characters you like, don't think too much about gameplay, the game can be cleared with bronze and silver servants anyway (Do level these up).
