I am relatively a new collector. I buy just the elites I really like, while completely ignoring basics. Some days ago I noticed a battle pack featuring Rock and Flair from WM20. I felt tempted to buy it since I was at WM20 live, but I am still unsure about it.
I was wondering what basic figures do you think would be a great addition for an elite collector? Or are basics really a step down?

Basic Tensai in elite robe looks fantastic. And Khali, obviously.

I buy every figure that I like regardless of what line it's from, and those typically fall under the flashbacks of anything before 99 category or Rollins, Balor, and soon to be AJ Styles figures.
Honestly, a few of my all time favorite figures are basics: RR91 Warrior, WM4 Warrior, t shirt Balor are a few examples.

Tshirt series figures Divas Entrance greats (Y2J, M$M, HBK, etc.) B44 Kane (elite suited legs) Battlepack COO HHH (elite figure with basic Bryan) Wrestlemania, Summerslam, Royal Rumble Heritage figures (Orton, HBK, Punk, etc.)
I get Stings, RVDs, Macho Man, Warrior, some Daniel Bryans, some Flairs. The ones that dont get elites but are great attires. I also get NXT talent from 2014 onward since there have only been a few elites.

I collect mostly basics unless the Elites are divas or really really high on my want list. I just can't part with the money unless I'm like "woah that Elite is gorgeous!" Lol. It seems like you and I are opposites haha.
I'd agree with everyone else. Divas are worth collecting since most of them are basics. But honestly you collect what you want to collect man. To me, Elites have some pretty cool figures. I wish I had the cash to buy more instead of really having to pick and choose. I can't really think of one specific Basic off the top of my head that I could suggest. But if you find basics that you really think are rad then go for it! Lower price tags and it builds your collection!

Basic Steamboat and Perfect are two great figures and series 14 HBK. The Vaudevillains are pretty great too. Sometimes Basics are just as good as Elites, I think the only downside is articulation and the tattoo detail.

Tommy Dreamer & the hurricane since we probably won't get those in elite form.

Khali. Basic articulation is accurate on him.

The RVD in the Mysterio battle pack is my favorite RVD.
British Bulldog basic is very good.

I find the basic Sheamus figures to be a better representation of his physique than his elites, so he's one of the few I buy.

I mainly collect Elites as well. For me, I'll get Basics of women or guys in a suit. J&J Security, the basic Mankind, the upcoming JBL. I would have grabbed Ascension, but they're getting Elites.

B63 Sid for the head swap onto e39 Sid. That's the only one that's ever been worth it for me.

Shelton Benjamen Neon Green Surfer Sting and of course... The Bunny I completely forgot about those two Punks. I actually bought the Macho Man and Punk BP when it first came out. Then I traded both, regretted it but then found the Punk at a comic book store. I also got the hit man Punk that same day. They're both really awesome figures. My favorite is the Macho Man Punk but Hitman Punk would have made a great Elite. I would also have to agree that surfer Sting is a good basic figure. I'm still holding out hope that we get a blue surfer Sting Elite flashback.
