It depends. I feel that 0bp on LAWs are overvalued compared to how much they actually matter in the game. If you're not in a poor alliance, enough damage to tag Ace on a LAW fairly quickly should be sufficient. With that in mind, the 90% rate of a 0bp with a more conventional 1:2:2 team is more than sufficient for PvM purposes, to the point that 0bp is more of an optional challenge than anything else.

Efficiency at EH, on the other hand, is the ranking game, and a card that can carry an entire salvo team on its own is pretty much the king of this. If math is correct, Relena teams should be more reliable at getting 25m overkills than ye olde 2x Hiraga 1xBuffer 2xUnleash teams. It continues to be more reliable at getting these overkills compared to your suggested 3xHiraga 1xTeam Unleash 1xBuffer teams by averaging 2-4 turns less than such a team, which is also less room for your salvo team to be killed in a cross-element EH wave (speaking of which, higher SC also means more durability for waves).

Your team is ruined if either the buffer or team unleash get hammered to death by wave and servant attacks before everything procs, while killing an unleasher in the 1xRelena 4xUnleasher team maybe slows her down a tad.

You're looking at better reliability and higher rate of success with Relena compared to Hiraga teams, which is pretty significant when those overkills translate directly to ranking points. Plus, Relena is actually cheap when you compare getting her with getting the two Foxies for a standard salvo team, say, to complete a normal salvo team (not even mentioning the cost of three Foxies + ice team unleash for your suggested team). 0bp LAWs, on the other hand, isn't really that useful in practice with any decent alliance.
