In terms of these two pets, sure slag is similar and better to clyde, but slag is no longer available. Clyde is still a very good pet for pvp. He gives you 30int, 10str which boosts your health, a pretty good boost to your baseline crit, and most importantly an arcane skill that can be used to stunlock rogues in combination with fireball. Slag and clyde are my two favorite pvp pets despite even having an arcane pet.
Orion is also a great pet. Actually my second favorite pet for pve. He is a great pet for when you get to the bosses in nordr to give you more defense against being one shotted and to buff your party and debuff the bosses. I usually use a more offensive pet for the elite mobs (favorite hammerjaw for now) and quickly switch to orion for the bosses. Will save you and your party more than you think.
As testament to how much I like these pets:
Sure malison is a great overall pet, but as they say, "a jack of all trades, a master of none." He is a solid pet to boost all stats but has no one particular strength. I guess good if you can get only one pet.
Ribbit, really? If you wanted to be a rogue, then just make a new character. Sure lightening can give you 250% damage on crit, but there is really a lot of debate about the usefulness of a crit build for a sorcerer. Sure great for certain applications, but I don't think a really good choice for most sorcerers. I know I am going to get a lot of haters for this comment.
