I want to learn these things because I just feel that it would be helpful. I really don't play them at all.
I have a banshee 3e, a jager (forget wich, dual AC20 thing) and dragons. I wouldn't mind something that is a bit bbigger and not so super slow like the banshee or an atlas. The speed is what annoys me the most.
Stalker maybe?

I would say probably a Victor with a big XL engine and JJ's might fit the bill, or even an Awesome. 80T is actually a pretty sweet spot for a fast assualt (Can't wait for Zeus!). I've seen very decent Battlemaster builds as well going into CW.
Speed is life, my 60km/h Victor so far has done Quite well in CW.

Get yourself a banshee 3m. 65 kph with a standard 350 or 75 kph with a 400 xl. It is a stellar pulse boat and you will be one step closer to mastering them.

Your speed will be 78.5 un-tweaked, 86.5 tweaked.
You can make the Jagers do most anything.
'A' can LRM
'DD' can Dakka and rokka with 4 or 5 AC2
'S' can Laser or Dakka
Firebrand is fond of Laser...
and all can be fast

I was just 2xAC20 + 2ML but I think I want toss a slight lower engine to get 2 more MLs in it. Either that or 4 tons of ammo is too much. I seem to shoot a lot though (and not blindly)
guess I'll look at other jagers or the 3M first for now.

But really, looking at your own thoughts, I think something like the Cataphracts or Orions might be right up your alley.

Banshee might be better choice since you already own the 3E

Heavy, you can't go wrong with a Jager, they are popular and able. My wildcard: Battlemaster, had I not purchased an Atlas I woul have picked up on of those guys.

+1 on the Misery. Victors with dual AC5/dual PPC (Dragon Slayer especially) are very powerful in CW.

Massively under rated mech.

But this was all pre quirk.. I have yet to fire them up as of late, but i can only say, they had to of gotten better right?. They are not that agile, but they do pack a decent punch, and piloted right can take a pounding. They aren't to bad on speed, though still slowish, but an STD 300 is a good engine for them.
Honestly, on my list of what to get are highlanders.. I always just liked um, and they seem like they have some interesting load outs. I'm pretty sure they are one of the more maneuverable assaults, going by how they fight. I've been told, if you go highlander for your JJ assault, go with std engines.. victors on the other hand lean towards XL's, and thus more costly. did you get your free victor from the event a bit back? that might help ya out too.
As far as heavies, Catapults, and cataphracts are always great, but now the T-bolts are pretty popular post quirk. *(though i had all 3 before, and really enjoyed them, now they are just all better)
Catapults, have a pretty good variety, with the K2, and jester, along with the 3 missile versions.
Cataphracts are great if you want to lean towards Ballistics, AC5/10's, LBX10s, AC-20 ect.. they pack a punch, and have energy back up, with a very able to carry a very limited amount of missiles.. though personally i have only ever run the 2X, with a BAP and a pair of streaks.. with an AC-20 and a pair of LL's It is a neat mech for sure but hardly a top player on the field.
T-bolts are heavily flavored towards energy now, especially with quirks. so if energy is your thing, it is hard to go wrong with them.. If not, then you might want to pick one of the others.
That is all i got for ya.. good luck!
