http://www.sarna.net/wiki/Factions is all what you need to find out.
To make it short: Choose Kurita, they are the coolest and have the most awesome mechs EVAR. Plus: We got hot Asian chicks in huge numbers.

Too much informations... basicly what I want to know is what mech are belong to which faction. Like the cataphract is davion if im not mistaken, and the dragon is obviously kurita. What else?

I forgot which book set this stuff up, but there's literally a list of which factories are on which worlds somewhere out there, leading to some general 'mechs being more common in other armies than some. That and salvage.
There's a lot of misinformation outside of Sarna on this stuff too. So many people think the Victor is a Davion 'mech because it was Davion designed, but the Combine conquered all the worlds with the factories. Also it was named several hundred years before that white hat Victor Davion showed up. (I hate Victor Davion so much. My name is no relation.)

Greetings.
There is such detailed guide. But it is in russian language.
Guide is based on technical readouts, and matches current timeline. Sarna.net gives info for 3067.
If there is enough need for translation, i could try..

Yes please, this seems to be exactly what I need. Like many people I dont speak russian so Im pretty sure your guide would be useful to the broader english audiance. (I speak french, but english is universal)

Ok, will start translation.
For start, here is tables from BattleTech 10979 - Combat Operations, list of mechs ever used by faction. Not much to translate here)
Year near mech model means era, when mech start in service.
* - announced mechs, unknown which models are playable
** - not playable models, but they can be built in mechlab
*** - not playable models, can not be built in mechlab
This list shows what mechs are used by factions, but not showing how massively. That info is in other parts in guide, but i need time to translate them +- correctly.

That being said as I can see, all faction use all type of mechs. The only thing they dont share are a few exeptions(dragons?) and some variants.
Im disapointed I have to admit. I hoped faction had more of a personnality to them.

They are. It is just list of mechs ever used. For example Commando - very few by Davions, massively by Steiner; - but they both using it. Such details will come soon.
For now, another tables, from BattleTech 35014 - Historical - War of 3039. It is 11 years before "now", so it is not include some new models like Raven-3L or Awesome-9M. But it shows how popular some models are in factions.
Numbers like 2/33 means percent, "this model" / "total number mechs in weight class".

Point of order: The Combine conquered Quentin, but only in 3039, and the Davions were at the time allied with the St. Ives Compact, who sold them Victors from the HildCo factory on St. Ives. They also rebuilt the Tao MechWorks line on Styk at some point, and would ultimately build another on New Valencia after losing both St. Ives and Styk to the Capellans. So the Davions have historically had access to the Victor, and did so in 3050.
Also, it wasn't "Davion designed", being initially produced by HildCo for the Terran Hegemony and later the Star League.
This concludes your BattleTech Nerd Moment. We now return you to your regularly scheduled programming.

I believe you are thinking of the 'Objective Raids' sourcebook.
