I'd suggest getting a second Stalker. The 3F is an OK missile boat, but I like the 5S (Dual AMS so better defense vs other missile boats, otherwise the same hard points, though you lose a little torso twist), the 5M (Can mount an extra LRM5), or the 3H (Can fire an LRM15 or 20 in a single volley from the arms). Also, a second Stalker means you only need 1 more to unlock the Elites (Speed Tweek is the best skill in the game), and unlocking all 4 Elites means you get double effective basics (making your mechs even more effective). Ignore the 4N, as it's 100% pointless compared to the other Stalkers (fewer hardpoints with no benefits) If you insist on a new mech, I'd suggest something like a Cataphrat (Mix of Energy and Balistics), Victor (Good brawler mech with or without an XL engine), Jeager (heavy mech weapon platform), or maybe a K2 (though the K2 got hurt by the PPC nerf badly). Another option is the Centurian D or A. The A has an extra missile slot but only 1 balistic slot in the arm, the D has 2 balistics in the arm, but only 2 missile hardpoints, but can also mount a pretty huge XL engine.
I have 3 stalkers... and also master is already unlocked on my Missile boat.
