Given the way you produce the multi FASTA file, isn't it already an alignment? You should be able to use phylogenetic software directly. FastTree is a good option. However I suspect your tree won't...

The %A bias is very suggestive you are running off the end of the fragment, so you would need longer insert libraries to benefit from the longer reads.
