ESO best companion to use in general ?

I am currently using Miri for my Nightblade and Bastion for my necromancer.

I think it's all about visual taste. Mirri and Bastian aren't so different from each other, having the same skills on most skill lines. Their differences are in class skills and their specific bonus. As for class skills, ultimate excluded, they do pretty the same overall damage with different debuffs and different animations. I didn't feel them so different to have me choose one over another. Their specific bonus is somewhat less useful: mirri let you have more drops from chests (nothing rare, only some sellable objects), bastian empower the potions you drop. The very great difference is their ultimate skill: mirri has a big single-target high-damage skill while bastian has a multi-target skill that does much damage (but less than mirri on every single target hit). I chose Mirri (equipped as bow-expert damage dealer) as my main companion for I play a Tank pg with self-healing so I needed an help in incrementing damage on single huge bosses... and I liked having a girl around ;)

I prefer Mirri beause when you open a chest she sometimes adds a bonus bag of goods to the loot and she doesn't disapprove when you find a thieves chest in the world or when you enter the thieves den simply to visit a guild merchant ( I don't steal in game, but just entering the thieves den is disapproved by Bastian).
And I find Bastian comments annoying. He is patronizing.
Otherwise they are almost the same. Not very useful in combat, they are more a distraction for the ennemy and they need to be healed frequently

As all my characters are ranged mages (Nightblades and necromancers) I use Bastian as tank and Mirri as dual wield DD.

Bastian should only lose rapport if you steal or deal with the Fence - he also doesn't like alcoholic drinks. You can set either of them up any way you want. The only ways they are different is Class/Race attributes. They can both learn everything else.

Bastian works the best as a long distance Healer. He never dies and buffs during fights with Shrikes and the like. Allot of success with comps relates to how you have skills setup and of course gear attributes. Some skills work at a longer distance than others so pay attention to that. The closer to the enemy the more they are going to need stuns.

Both of them constantly bug out and often more than not are useless HP drains.

Yeah, so It's amazing how you can use both Bastion and Mirri in different ways.
For me, I found that it's their personality that I like or dislike the most. Also, the use of Medium armour makes them take boss aggro and keep aggro while constantly roll dodging out of the fight area and reset the boss, so medium armour bad. I really don't need constant life lessons from Bastion or wrong information constantly yelled out, like "the fight is over, put away your weapon," while he is standing in an aoe in the middle of a dark anchor. My favorite is him yelling "taste our steel" and we are both using a wooden staff. So he now sits on my back shelf, unused because I just can't stand his personality.
Mirri is happy about pretty much everything but stupid bugs, so stay away from looting bugs and your good to go.
Both are good at guild abilities like Starfall is awesome. So for me, I met a player who was a healer and i noticed Mirri looked like a healer and I asked, "is Mirri a good healer?" They replied she is an awesome healer. So to stop the aggro roll dodge thing even more I made her a healer and it has been working great. I use the staff, class and guild abilities and make her wine every now and then, take out a goblin, read a book, whatever, and we are getting along just great. So, for me it's more about personality than skills since it seems you can make them both into whatever you want.
