Thoughts on what I should do now.

Yes, I actually use Cage a lot because of the extra shield after the first turn, especially in lightning rounds.  And that's only with two red.  And I almost always save up 12 Black and whack the strongest character on the other team.  What really kind of makes the debate interesting is that I use IM40 a lot and he would feed blue to Strange and green to R&G which seems like would make pretty daunting offensive team.  However, I don't have a good title moving defensive character so Cage would make sense in that respect as well.

3Groot's green is not really that good actually. It has board-shake capability, but otherwise the damage is medicore. On the other hamd, 3Groot's blue is probably one of the best strike tiles maker in 3* land and goes well with 3Stange's passive as well.

I think Cage would be the guy to champ, but BP is probably better (but you'd lose a cage cover).  Cage (or even better BP) is great with Iron Fist.  Fist can feed them blacks with a cheap 5ap Purple, or you can hoard purple until you get 12ap black and then Fist does 4k damage for 5ap Purple.  BP's yellow strike tiles do great with Fist self regenerating attack tile to do extra damage every round.  But, as it has been stated, Cage's Red protect tile will help you save health packs early on.

I would like to comment that I really do like Rocket and Groot.  The blue strikes are great, and the green can do a little board shake up.  The great thing is his yellow, which can fully heal him and shake up the board.  I don't think he's top tier, and my opinions are more of a personal nature.

Re: Cage - how far along are your Scarlet witch and Iron Fist?  As others mentioned above, they make a great trio, with SWitch feeding Fist purple, who then feeds Cage black, who then punches everybody's lights out.

Unfortunately, I had Iron Fist as my first bonus hero and, sure enough, I kept getting his black covers, so I switched to someone else.  Currently he's at 1/2/5.  Scarlet Witch is in better shape, in color equality.  She's at 3/2/2 and has been my bonus hero for several days but the bonus heroes are not dropping like they used to for me, unfortunately.  But once Scarlet Witch is hopefully covered fully, I'll probably shoot for Iron Fist next, because of the defense and offensive start that Cage and Fist offer every match.

R+G are great to partner with Thanos as well, as when Court Death has ground them down, hit yellow and save yourself a health pack.
