Predator, Raider, or Assault?

I can't decide on what mech I want to pick, however.
In your opinion, what is the better mech, and the one I should get when I have enough HC?
Thanks in advance.

tl;dr: Raider = All around bad ass(1st Pick) Assault = CR-T with better tuning(2nd Pick) Predator = I wish 95% of the community wouldn't even buy this mech because its too hard to use and just puts a useless body on your team most of the time

I took a look at the Raider and apparently it comes with an EMP, which temporarily disables the victim's weapons. Looks pretty nifty. I believe I went up against one before, and died almost every time. The predator looks useful with it's "stalker" ability, but now that you mention it, it does look like something that would be hard to use and would require your full attention and concentration. I disliked the recruit. It was balanced, I agree, but it was pretty bland and didn't look like it had anything 'special' about it. Plus it looked like a TV-Toaster hybrid with legs and guns
 If the Assault's stats is something I can achieve through just upgrading and the Recruit, and the only difference would be the aesthetics, I won't bother with the Assault.

I suppose practice makes perfect. It does look like something that you need to concentrate on. Thanks for you opinion!

I get annoyed with too many mechs running away once I have inflicted enough damage that only a few more seconds of firing at them would kill them, and in the process of chasing them, I get killed by another mech. I suppose the Raider would help in these situations. Thanks for your opinion!

HC well spent! I went and tested it out in a match, and I got first place. The Blitz ability and EMP proved very useful, as well as the ricochet-shotgun thing. The grenade launcher helped, I used it as my long range weapon as I could only inflict moderate damage on the opponent at mid-range. The grenade dropped as it went further, so I just aimed up to compensate for that. Using the EMP was so much fun ;p
Thank you all for your views!

Raider Corsair-KLA is very versatile. Its AOE in grenade launcher mode is very good and the MIRV is wicked at close range. A slight downside to the GL is the need to compensate for the drop--which comes with practice--and the lack of on-demand detonation.

May I ask what you mean? I am saving up for a Raider myself, and I've heard a patch is coming in February? If I buy now I'll have to re-buy ranks and ability? I'm sorry I didn't understand what you meant.
Also, when this new patch comes...could it include a new mech? That's really the only reason I'd save my $.
