I assume you mean patron pools - Yes. You can. But you have to run the arcs for one of the contacts first, which of course means you must have Going Rogue so you can go full villain.

As for which is good... *shrug* What do you want? I personally *like* Soul mastery (Soul Drain, Dark Consumption,) Mu has a nice bit as well if you want to go electric. Leviathan's fun if you want to puke on things, but you don't get to throw fish as a controller. And mace, of course, has you putting away your bow for a mace.

It doesn't matter which arc you run, you get access to all four. So run an arc and then decide.

How many slots do you have for powers?

If you're slot poor I'd consider Leviathan and Soul. With Leviathan you just take Water Spout, Hibernate and Shark Skin and use 3 extra slots in the last. Hibernate is handy for a /TA Controller, and Water Spout is useful even with a single slot. For Soul you get Dark Embrace and Soul Drain and maybe Dark Consumption. It requires more slots to get top value, but you can get by with just 2 power choices.

If you have more slots then you should decide if you can use END recovery tools (Soul, Mu) or not, and then whether or not you want to slot up an attack or pet.
