From an AL player point of view, have your Bastion map ready (apparently a requirement) and your Bastion Facility Order/Orders selected in advance.
The Best Bastion options (value wise) are the ones that require basically zero DM adjudication. “I’m going to Trade/Craft/Empower/Harvest” all just require the DM to nod, literally.
Avoid “Maintain” at all costs as that is where the DM has to roll dice and bad stuff happens.
From the DM side, if you (the Player) don’t have your map or know how Bastions work, I’m going to direct you to review the rules and then get back to me next session, having already done my duty to show you the available information. (Since from the Players side Bastions are optional)
If everyone goes in eyes wide open, things are efficient. (I’m writing up a cheat sheet I can just point to for our local players) and players have some interesting options for their downtime.
