It really depends on your budget. But go for pets that give at least 15-20 dex, dmg and/or crit, armor and hp. Some suggestions:
1. Stanlee. Stanlee comes with armor boost in its happy bonus and its AA increases your damage and crit for a short time.
2. Swift. If you use daggers, using Swift's AA (it pulls mobs together) can help you control mobs so that you don't need trap and can use veil instead.
3. Yowie is good mainly because his happy bonus gives nice boost of HP.
4. Breeze. If timed well, Breeze AA can freeze lots of mobs together. Very useful in elite maps.
5. Slobber has a nice AA if timed well (you have to make him puke on a huge number of mobs).
6. Maridos. His happy bonus gives huge HP boost, and the crit and stats you get from his AA is a huge help especially on tough boss fights. Maridos can also banish enemies (though not bosses).
7. Nekro. Especially if you're planning on running a lot of elites, it pays to invest on a Nekro. Great happy bonus, shield AA, ability to terrify and banish, plus massive massive damage that hits multiple enemies.
PS. I forgot Blinky. Blinky's AA drops enemy dmg by a whopping 40%, so it's a real lifesaver in tight situations. Its passive attack includes dropping enemy armor by 20%, an ability shared, as far as I know, only by Nekro and Grimm.
