I realize there is no "best" choice but I'd like to hear suggestions to which people prefer or dislike. If at all possible i would greatly appreciate reasons for your choices on henchmen. aswell any other tips for pool powers and what not would help aswell. thanks for all your posts in advance!

Frankly your power pool choices might be more more important than this choice.
Undead: Sturdiest, lowest damage output.
Ninjas: Relatively solid, more damage then undeads.
Bots: Less sturdy than the first two, but range attacks and AoE damage...best AoE damaging pets.
Mercs: Squishiers pets, very good range and very good damage, the AoE is reduced a lot compared to bots...the numbers are smaller than bots damage, but the attacks come in a LOT faster, 2+2+2 is better than 5...especially if each attack debuff.
Thugs: Prolly the best set, as is often the case with most recents powers. They have decent range, poor AoE, most of them are quite squishie, but the Bruiser is really sturdy, think of the worst Brute setting you could see a player creates and it is prolly still a little weaker than such a player...yet, for a pet, this is marvelous and incredibly strong, especially with it fast reaction.
Again, it depend on what you want from your pets...I personnally don't like undead and ninjas since they have limited range, but some peoples love them.
Personnally, I would play a:
Undeads & Ninjas: Only if I plan on grouping a lot with a few friends and none are able to tank.
Bots: If I want to solo all the time and gain XP fast.
Mercennaries: To deal massive damage to a target at a time. They are by far the best if you are behind a brute or in a team. Their long range also means they are less likely to be running everywhere. They are frail however...so for solo...unless you're a bubbler, it is going to be harsh on you.
Thugs: That is the best choice IMO, it is never bad to have thugs and often the best situation.

Bots N Bubbles = Mean pvp and pve
Thugs/Trap all the way.
In RV, i've seen one Thugs/Trap take on 2 tankers and 2 scrappers and win. Then the same MM get's killed in 10 seconds by a lone blaster. Pets die easy from AOE's. That is the craziest thing i've seen on this game.
