Good Troop combinations for Crystal 1/2?

Recently got Town hall 9 and cant find loot in the Gold leagues anymore, slowly Farming my way up to Crystal 1/2 where I heard the loot is at for Town hall 9/10 and I was wondering what are cheap and effective army compositions that could be used to take on the harder bases up there? My current Farming composition is 8 Giants, 8 Wallbreakers, 52 Archers, 40 Barbarians and 52 Goblins, I am chilling around 2000 right now and still easily 1-2 starring most bases so would it still be viable to use in the higher Crystal leagues? Also all my Troops are Town hall 8 max level and I only have 200 Army camp space so it will make it a lot harder to Farm that range I assume (Lab is upgrading so will be able to upgrade Troops soon and will start my Camps once I get builders free), I'm not worried about Defence because putting your Town hall in a corner in the Crystal 1/2 Range or Higher is almost a guaranteed snipe

I would say balooniaans and GoWiWi at master

Gowiwi isnt a farming strategy ur burning 2500+ dark elix on every raid. Not to mention long wait times

Would BAM or Barbs and Archers work up there? Or would I be wasting my time even trying? What about Giant Healer? Noticed a few Farmers in Master league were using that combination

loons and minions 40 minions 24 loons 10 barbs 10 arch

Crystal 1 will be a challenge as you are basically TH8 (I've been around 2300-2400 for a while now as TH9, having been up to Masters earlier then down to Crytal 3 and back up a bit). I'd recommend getting your Crystal 2 badge, then try farming around there, you'll probably settle around 2200 give or take, and at least then you can find abandoned bases in a good spread from 2000-2400, and still see weak enough ones. Keep your current army if you want, if it's working now it won't suddenly stop working when you gain 200 cups.

Balloons and minions could work, assuming your minions are at least level 4, but anything over 16 balloons is a long cook time, so base selection is key you need weak bases (plenty exist if you're around 2200; not so many if you're over 2300). Be sure to go for 1-star, don't get distracted by the TH and get a loss (do keep an eye out for big DE hauls though, of course).

BAM or similar could work, it's a good challenge, but you'll probably drop cups half the time with only a TH8 setup. I've used a few Giants with archers and a few minions at TH8 in Crystal; also, a golem or two plus the rest archers.

None of these are easy in C2, you'll be good friends with the Next button, but if you want a challenge it's all good.
