I have a robotics and a zombies mm. I like them both. But the playstyles are so different with different pets and you won't know which one you like most until you reach level 32 or thereabouts.
Zombies and Ninjas tend to be more melee based, with the tier 1 and 2s especially liking melee(or being more effective in it in the case of Grave Knights. You need to force-move them beside an enemy to get them to draw their broadswords. Once they do that they do silly damage). Necros tier 3 is more controller-like with an annoying Torrent power.
Thugs are probably the kings of pre-32 ranged damage. Tier 1 and 2s fire ranged Lethal attacks & cones, which the exception of the Arsonist who is your 3rd Tier one minion and does AOE Fire damage. Your Tier 3 is a Brute in a box although like Necros Grave Knights he can have AI issues and need a bit of encouragement.
For PvE I've found Thugs/Traps very, very effective indeed. My Necro/Dark is effective too but requires more micro-management, especially with the Grave Knights.
Necros level 18 power is great, rezzes a dead Henchie as a Spirit henchman. Means a very valid way of playing a Necro is to use a zombie as an alpha soaker, if he dies doing it extract the spirit and resummon the zombie.
Thugs level 18 is highly amusing, summon a flood of lowbie thugs. Great for mobbing bosses but they die very easily (and can easily aggro an entire room).
On the American Forum Bots are frequently mentioned as the toughest pets once you get 2 protectors going. Bots/Traps seems to be the anti-AV MM of choice over there.
For PvP I'm not sure on primary really, I suppose Ranged pets should be able to keep firing on moving targets better than meleers and for secondary Poison is probably the strongest followed by maybe Trick Arrow (for the stackable -slows). *Edit : Looking at that thread Zombies and Ninja seem other peoples choices for PvP

Poison seems to have detoggle powers.

If Ninja or Necro get in melee range, their damage is really great. Necro gets self heals (minor but still) and ninja you can keep 1 infinitive 'hidden' (nonstop crit damage).
At all costs, dont pick Mercs 
The few debuffs they have recharge very long, the few good shots they have are hardly used.

PvP Poison is probably the best 1v1, as it means you can stick in BG mode without any real damage losses, take BG damage as well as shove out huge detoggling debuffs...
Zonal /FF is probably best with Robotics as they stay close to you for the inherent buff and deal ranged damage.
bots/ff is great for tanking if you go all out for raising defense.
i have gotten bots and necro to 50, mercs to 32 and ninjas to 16 :P.
i prefer necro for pvp as for combos i prefer dark and poison, for pve dark, traps and ff.
heyy all i was just wondering about mm pets and the pros and cons with each 1 and also would like to see wot pet you would choose for pvp and for pve
