Any two pets will get you to 85.
And with the changes to pet leveling, a new pet will reach your level relatively quickly if you change your mind.
Plus you can easily have a lot of different pets, for various situations.

The last I played Hunters...
Pets were either: Strong / Average / Weak, one each to three categories.
Or they were: Average to all three.
(Damage, Armor (vs Melee) or Health).

I went with "two" tank type pets on the team.
The Gorilla was the only pet to have an AoE attack, when I started the team, but I believe most have one now (Bear has one for sure).
And then three damage dealing pets.

And Hunters put out a lot of damage too.
