The focused Water pet is very durable, hits hard, and holds early aggro like an absolute champ from lvls 4 to 24. I personally leveled by putting a flame shield on the water pet and sent the thing in and would nuke 2 to 3 times to out damage the dumb thing to get max exp, and had a leveling speed that was faster than a Necro for those low levels. That's all I cared about.
From levels 24+, odds are you might start doing the reclaim thing right towards the end of a fight and summon a new pet with each kill. So the Fire pet might be your best bet for that stage of leveling on up. So the short of it is, I'd suggest just getting the Stein, level the character, and at 24 if you like the class still and want to keep going - get the other items then.
