STK-(any variant)
+ I have one already and love it, unlocking elite would make it more betterer
+ Lots of fitting options
- Big slow fat target that dies a lot
- Expensive to level up two STK's
JM6-A
+ Definitely my kind of mech; CPLT C1 and K2 met in a bar and this was the result
+ Dominates Tourmaline and Alpine
- Gets dominated everywhere but Tourmaline and Alpine
AS7-RS
+ Every other game I wish the team had a competent 100 ton brawler
+ Would let me experiment with 4x PPC chainfire mayhem
- Not sure if 100 ton brawler would work for me
RVN-3L
+ Troll 4X is a glorious thing, and it would be even better with ECM and a one-by-one LRM20
+ Cheap for a "tech 2" variant
- ECM is bad, mmkay?
- Still expensive for a for-the-lulz toy
DRG-(any variant)
+ Big maps favor speed and I'm lacking a good skirmisher
+ Probably gonna get a Flame while they're on sale and this would take me closer to unlocking elite
- Bad brawler and many games become brawls
CTF-2X
+ I have a 4X and love it, having AC20 or Gauss+2xPPC would be fun
+ One step closer to elite, and helps me train for Ilya if/when they go on sale
- Already have a CTF so it's nothing new
Choose wisely, for future generations are depending on your wisdom!

As far as playstyle, I do just about everything except 'proper' light mechs as I'm not twitchy enough to make it work.

Jenners are fun. Slap in a 280XL or larger in a 7F, and go wild with 1.3-1.4 heat efficiency with 6MLs and DHS. Add in speed tweak... and fun ensues.
7D makes a good light hunter with the same setup, except replace 2 MLs with 2 SSRMs. Any light not running ECM (read; most of them) will DIE.

I voted Dragon, because I figured not many would It's challenging to use and doesn't play like anything else in the game really, so it can be fun when it's not frustrating.
It you want something that can be flexible and focused, then the Cataphract is the way to go. It is a good Gundam, and has a nice hero variant if you ever feel like dropping some non-space bux on something.
I didn't vote Atlas or Stalker just because you really need good team support to do well in assaults so they're sort of hit-or-miss sometimes.
I don't think I need to explain why I didn't vote Raven

The Jager is fun and effective, but has limited build options.
The dragon can be fun, but 10 million is too much money to be saddled in a sub-par chassis. When they bring knockdown and dragon-bowling back, well... that will be a different story. I also feel that the Flame is the best variant. My advice is that if I wasn't getting the Flame, I wouldn't bother with dragons.
Like Warrax said about assaults, it can be hit-or-miss because of your reliance on your team. For PuGs I would go with a heavy chassis for the mix of firepower and speed.
The raven was fun but I haven't played it much since mastering it. It was broken for too long and I didn't want to spread the frustration I was feeling about it around to new players. That and the non-3L variants suck to level. I've had more of a challenge and more fun in my spider. When you do well in a raven, nobody cares. When you do 500+ dmg in a spider and 2-3 kills, that's an accomplishment that people notice.
Good luck and good hunting!

If you must pick one of the choices you provided, I say go Jager. You said it yourself: "Definitely my kind of mech."

See, these are the moments when I'd very much like a "like button" for the poll, cause it's a complete internet win.

Calling the 4X a troll does it a great dis-service, as it is so much more then a simple troll. In the right hands it is a machine of unparallelled power; an absolute monster.
4X is my mech of choice. Last game I played I scored 5 kills, 2 assists, most damage on the winning team.
I vote get the 3L , so you can master your 4X. Then sell your L3, because the 4X is the only raven you will ever need.
