One of my guildies has an eagle and it's pretty large. Im not sure about ravens though.

Get a polar bear, I have one. It's the best one after Rainbow Pheonix.

all pets are essentially the same except for damage type.

excluding proph bears of course. they use brutal mauling which makes them suck.

Unless you're a primary or secondary Paragon or are rolling with one.

don't have much to add other than Strider FTW

If there were a pet stable or some way to not give up a pet, then I'd get a White Moa on my ranger.

Raven or Black widow.
Dark arts animals

Get a crab, name it 'Fire Crotch'....

Any pet will do (PvE) - even a bear. The change in attack speed is not worth worrying about. Take whatever pet suits you. Nothing in the game (except for some HM/elite stuff) is that critical that the type of pet will make a real difference.

I currently have the white wolf. Best pet in my opinion!

Black wolf is the coolest imo

Too true, it's really annoying if you keep having to walk around that monstrosity. Even if it doesn't do much damage, it's still a valuable pet.

My personal favorite is a White Moa

That's what it says on the official wiki page. Black bears use a monster skill (Bestial Mauling) which deals no extra damage but has a casting time that slows their overall rate of attack.

Don't use black bears...

Edit: Doh, Luminarus beat me to it.

I like hiding behind my big fat bear... they body block well :P
