Caren coming in strong!
 
Operating under the assumption that we get a Servant later if we pick Caren or Bazett (no they're the servant :p) ........but at the same time the main picture is intriguing, but again shirou freakin' all ranks down emiya (and if our servant doesn't experience rank downs upon contracting then it's a serious no holds barred clusterfuck).

Love me that eggplant but I think I have to pass. Mash interests me for wondering how she'd work with true Name shenanigans (probably similar to EMIYA), but I can't put my vote on a servant knowing that if we get the shirou emiya downranks Mash's stats become abysmally bad. Also we need to get her back to Ritsuka, who is totally here and this isn't actually some bizarre alt timeline singularity wackiness!

Medea is intriguing, but strikes me as problematic for obvious RUUUULE BREAKAH! reasons. It's probably unwise to assume her and Mash's parameters but whatever. The problem here is her parameters in FGO are the same as in F/SN and for the life of me I can't figure out whether or not that's due to having Ka/Ku-zuki the non-mage as her Master. It makes sense, looking at the general Cs and Ds she has, but then why would they stay the same and not go back up given Ritsuka is far more capable at magecraft....Also again, the Hero vs Villain aspect is nice, very UBW, but I really don't like having Damocles' Noble Phantasm hanging above my head.

I don't know a whole lot about hollow attaraxia, but I'm thinking Bazett's the way to go here. She's cool, incredibly strong and it not only connects us to Kirei, but also distances us from Cu (theoretically) while keeping us close with everybody's favorite love-to-hate jerk Angra Mainyu (theoretically).

Good writeup!

I'm a bit curious how you think Bazett would connect us to Kirei? After he ganked her arm, she wouldn't want aaaaanything to do with him, and it also kinda more connects us to Cu, since even after he's stolen from her, he DOES have a heavy soft spot for her, hell, that's why he setup the time loop in Hollow Ataraxia, because he wanted Bazett, the woman so in love with his legend that she went out of her way to summon him in the Grail War pretty much JUST to meet him, to have some time to be happy before she died. Also, since the loop is... at least theoretically not going, Angra Mainyu isn't showing up and hooking himself to Bazett if she's alive.

Just a basic connection, in the sense of "oh, he beat up Bazett, probably evil, should maybe stay away from/be wary of him". Less so an itneraction connection, moreso understanding that he's the enemy-which is probably a good move, I think? The sooner you realize Kirei's not your friend, the better.
The Angra bit is admittedly an assumption on my part. Bold to make assumptions right out the gate, but it is what it is.
 
....more thought then my vote...coin flip between cute witch from Georgia and Cute fighter from Ireland

Angra is a good boy and does what he wants.
