berries: trike, stego, bronto
meat: pickaxe gets the most it seems like, so just have some carnivores with you when you hunt for backup
wood: mammoth

I think Bronto is best no?

nope bronto gets thatch.

The incoming beaver, whenever it lands, is meant for harvesting wood as well.

Pro Tip: Increasing your harvesters melee damage, increases their yields when they harvest stuff.

Higher Melee damage = increased loot

could test it in singleplayer by spawning and forcetaming, adding xp then giving them far different meelee damage %'s

The difference is day-clear. One of my Spinosaurs had 160% melee damage on the taming and best Chitin i got out of scorpions was 2-3 per scorpion, now that it has 1090% melee damage it's getting 10-13 chitin per scorpion.

Good list. Some minor changes are required though. They are as follows:

Rex: Best meat farmer in the game (even better with higher melee damage as it increases the meat yield); typically yields at least one prime meat from prime meat providers with high melee damage before the body disappears after being farmed

Sabertooth: Best hide, chitin, and keratin farmer in the game. Your average turtle is yielding 6-12 keratin per turtle with a cat at 500%+ melee damage, and scorpions are anywhere between 10 and 20 chitin

Ankylo: Farms metal and flint like a monster, not so great at rock (metal hatchets are still the best for now)

Spinosaurus: Faster than the Rex in the water, incredible oxygen meter, and does the same if only slightly lower damage than the Rex; does not sprint faster than the Rex. Meant more for aquatic combat, but can hold it's own in terrestrial (land) combat quite well
