I favor the Rise of Star City team, but that's just because Roy's my boy. What I think could be a good compromise for the sake of the size of the team would be to fade out Henry , bring in Connor to form the quintet with Ollie, Dinah, Emi and Diggle and (ideally with Titans' writing improving) having Roy be the 'extra ranger' so to speak, occasionally around but mostly only showing up for the big stuff.
I think Roy is definitely the type who's going to be in and out of the book unless, circumstances being what they are, he needs a new book to call home.
I like Henry even if I'm kind of over the "computer superhacker" archetype, but I don't think he's really someone who hogs a lot of screentime so I'm not too fussed about him detracting from anyone else in the cast.
It'd feel weird to have Connor in a group without Mia in it.
I'm used to characters being written drastically different than their comic counterparts. What I'm not used to (in superhero shows at least) is flat out racism. "Oliver's white! He can't have a dark skinned son! Make Connor the son of the only black guy on the show! Now where's our darling, whitebread OC William, Oliver's real son?"
Again, they wrote themselves into a corner there by not making William Connor or not getting the race right for Oliver's baby mama or illegitimate child (because they had no intention of doing a proper Connor Hawke).
Just like how, between Legends and Arrow, they completely screwed-up Grant and Jericho by reversing the ages and making them the exact same character.

Diggle's Back guys. He returned in #37, shooting Malcolm to save Black Canary and reconciled with Oliver- we even get a Reminder- Diggle was in the Army and went Overseas. No 'You're my Brother Oliver.' Moment yet but its nice to have Dig back. Even better he's now chosen to be a Fulltime Friend to Oliver and Member of Team Arrow. So yeah, I could Dig this issue.
the best Green Arrow in the Arrowverse.

Brothers Reunited.
Diggle is the best part of Arrow IMO.
Always Forward. Forward Always.
