Depends on your definition of "well supported".
FFG still very much produces the models/rules and puts out new stuff. Empire just got a new Star Destroyer and Thrawn added.
Armada doesn't receive nearly as much attention as Xwing though. But that's ok.
As for what to get,
Split the starter(or two since you'll both want most of the cards) with your friend. Whoever goes Imperial should get both Fighter expansions and an ISD. Rebel player should get the Home One expansion and both Rebel Fighter packs. Then add ships as they take your fancy.
