I've been advising my team to pick one thing to be the best at - fuel or gears - and consider ignoring the other completely. The response I've received has been "we can't rely on others in qualifications because ranking point and districts," which seems to mean to me that we're going to try and do everything.

I'll be interested to see what everyone does. I'm betting the strongest alliance will be formed by the best fuel bot and the best gear bot, with the 3rd pick being a competent drive train able to play defense, reliably dump fuel in the low goal and/or occasionally hang gears. Bonus points if the 3rd bot has 8-15 lbs available for a cheesecaked rope solution (if that's even legal this year).
