Finished my 25 cadet bonus matches, so now I've got around 16 million c-bills kicking around while I figure out which mechs to start with.

I see that the OP recommends the Stormcrow or Timberwolf to start, and I like the idea of being able to swap components instead of buying whole new variants, but I can get like three IS mechs for the cost of that one Timberwolf or Stormcrow. Plus wouldn't that lock me into playing Clan in the faction play matches?
Also a lot of IS mechs have hidden costs - endo/ff/engine upgrades. A timberwolf is good out of the box, and omnipods give you the ability to completely change your mech for cheap.
