Murder Knight is a neat pet and can probably be an interesting damage dealer with his time stop. He does have the armor bit but the armor bit isn't as strong as the metal bit so the other two will probably be able to take more punishment. As such, I think murder knight is out of the running for best tank but he might be the better attacker of what you've listed.

Now as for the bell of termination vs the pro-jet I would imagine that they both can be tied for best tank. I'd even throw regular bells into the mix and they too would be tied for the best. The end result is pretty much the same across the board. You have a fast metal pet that has shadow step and maybe provoke that can take a beating. All of them can achieve this since you can now tweak the AI, learn skills from Leold, or teach them skills yourself. Also, all three can be fed hero cheese to reach good HP amounts.

Although all three can be the best at tanking there are more pressing considerations that must be addressed. The bell of termination in particular will probably be very hard to train compared to regular bells and pro-jet. Its relatively high level and capped speed are great but you pay dearly for it with its INI score. The pro-jet is probably easier to train but I would imagine regular bells are even easier still.

Then you have to factor in the fact that as a tank you need your pet to melee. Well regular bells have a ranged AI so you'll need to deal with that. The bell of termination has a melee AI and so does pro-jet so all good there. Pro-jet however already has shadowstep so that's an edge it has over the bell of termination.

I went with Pro-Jet, although I renamed her Akeno and changed her sprite, after weighing pros and cons relative to where I was in the game and what I was fine with. Another person may make a completely different decision and I'd see why. Bottom line is to choose your poison as all of them pose their own challenges.

On a side note, I can't wait to start working on Akeno's living lightsabers. Also want to hook her up with a proximity assist item eventually. Should really up her already nice damage. Currently she's at 500 tactics, 400 dual wielding, and seems to get three attacks. Default body slots so no extra hands.
