if your parents offered to get you a yukkuri for your birthday what breed would you ask for?

pros & cons, for consideration:
-Reimu/Marisa
+ the most affordable breeds due to their ubiquity, you may end up with one regardless of preference if your family is poor
- lack of prestige in consequence of the above
- kleptomania in case of the latter
-Cirno
+ free refrigeration, simply lock them in the cupboard with the food (must be gagged to prevent it being eaten)
+ can be made to produce ice cream by feeding them milk and sugar, vigourously shaking them, then squeezing them
- cold condensation can damage your walls
-Rumia
+ effective rodent pesticide
- must wear shoes indoors to prevent loss of toes
-Meiling
+ chinese lessons
- may insist on being used as a home security system in place of burglar alarms or upgraded locks; very ineffective at preventing break-ins
-Patchouli
+ can readily be taught to perform simple to semi-complex tasks due to high intelligence, may easily be motivated to do so through promising them books
+ the only breed that can reliably be taught to read and write, may then be brought in to your job to assist with paperwork, can also write and send computer emails with a special input device
- if not yet literate may instead satisfy their book obsession by chewing on them
-Sakuya
+ housekeeping
- will only follow orders if you give them while dressed in remilia cosplay
-Remilia/Flandre
+ ability to fly is useful in some circumstances, eg if snowed in and conventional communications are down they may be used as carrier pigeons to contact rescue services
- aristocratic pride causes difficulty in training
- blood loss
