Strongly conflicted on which crown companion to purchase

Basically, I was dead SET on buying Goronado after I beat him and got the medal and unlocked him. I just bought the right amount of crowns to purchase him but now I have all these feelings of regret I might feel after so I've been so conflicted on who should I buy instead.

This is for my Swashbuckler, I know Goronado is great on Buccaneers but I also heard he's good on Swashbucklers so I decided to go for it with my Swashbuckler. But now I don't know if I'm making the right decision buying Goronado so I want peoples opinions on who is a better fit. Right now I'm in the middle of Cool Ranch, I know a ton of people are gonna say "Wait till you're max level" but I'm dead set buying one now since I typically don't PVP often. I want to hear peoples opinions with valid reasons.

I'd greatly appreciate everyones comments!

I really do suggest that you wait to purchase a crown shop companion. Cool Ranch is still a bit low leveled in game play, wait a bit.
If you don't want to wait and pvp isn't a factor for buying a companion, then maybe you should look at the early companions that you don't recruit.
The MooShu five "twins"
The Kraken Skulls "twins"
The Presideo "twins"
As a swashbuckler, you'll be naturally recruiting a lot of swashbucklers. While buccaneers are good fit for a swash team; we often lack fire power. There are many very good musketeers that could help you out.
Lefty is especially good, Pepe de Torteaux gets bombs.
Then there are privateer companions. I especially like Sargent Shepard ( Lucky Jack twin ).
This just my opinion, I'm sure you'll get many responses. The choice is ultimately yours.
Good Luck!

Community fansite Final Bastion recently released a post rating the various desirable Crown Shop companions. Try looking there for ideas. Here's a link to the post.

Oh I didn't notice that. Okay, new perspective...

As a Goronado owner, I can say that he's not as glamorous as he first seems. He sure has plenty of raw power and is fun to use, but he doesn't synergize well with a Swachbuckler. However, he may be useful if you can hide him with Black Fog and have him charge.

Let me know if you want my opinion on other alternatives for a PvE player.
