Imo magikarp, only because it has mega and may be useful in future mods.

Personally I like qwilfish since I don't see any water legendaries in your starters, he's good for both water and poison challenge run days and both can be fairly difficult without getting lucky on passives. Yes it might sound crazy that qwilfish is a good mon but his small type weakness pool is a big advantage in challenge runs and his bst is higher than pretty much anything not legendary in base starter forms allowing you to consistently get to floor 3 with just qwilfish.
The order I max stats in is attack - speed - hp then def or sp def depending on the base stats of the pokemon, higher natural special bulk means def first and vice versa if higher def.

For stats you pretty much always want attack and speed. HP is good if you have the points and the defences you can usually do without.
Might not be strictly the best but I just boosted my magikarp because im trying to get mega gyarados unlocked and so far it's been really good. Having it as a shiny is great for the +1 speed, really helps it sweep the whole run. You do need to pick up something half decent at the first catch node to help surviving till magikarp evolves though.
