Might be interesting. Although twice the HP of the buffpets would be 20hp IIRC, so they'd get splattered instantly if they drew any aggro at all. 
Character references! Artz! Whatnot!
Give them no ranged attacks and a strict follow command. They stick t you like glue and can only draw agro if led directly through/into mobs.
But in fairness I personally think that Buff/attack pets should be removed from vet rewards and either added to a purchasable booster pack, or make them a reward for some hard meta game (or competition rewards). Making them available at a cost (either effort or monetary) and thus available to everyone rather than those who decided that CoH was good way back when it was launched.
Or as I have asked for before change the way that vet rewards are rewarded giving everyone a chance at the 3 year plus rewards.

Yea, but the way the CoX AI works, a pet shooting a blast is gonna draw MUCH less aggro than a pet putting a buff on you every second.
maybe X-23 as mutant
How about for a veteran award, an attack style pet since we already have non-combat and defense, these pets have one power only (apart from flight) but since they may be a cause of aggro have double the HP of the Defense pet. heres what i had in mind:
Science - Shivan Meteorite - Neutrino Bolt (radiation blast)
Magic - Obsidian Rune - Dark Blast (dark blast)
Mutation - Mutagen Spore - Spit Acid ('hydra' enemy power)
Technology - Assault Drone - Power Bolt (energy blast)
Natural - Micro Turret - Burst (assault rifle)
