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 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.
