In general I think the good witches are very good and it's very obvious what each Witch patron wants to do so unlike some classes you aren't going to be locked out of the most broken combo because you didn't read the 9th level entry (hi Animist). Lessons also lets you buy good spells regardless of tradition. At the very least, at most levels with most players, it's the best Int caster IMO.
I’ve looked through the patrons and this aspect really has me hooked right now. As long as I pick a patron that has both a cantrip and familiar ability that resonates with me, I’m fairly happy. And it’s all realized at level 1!
I’m only at the core patrons right now and I’m really liking the support ones. Faiths flamekeeper and spinner of threads seem really fun and easy to grasp for me as all around number boosters. The familiar abilities not pushing me to get my familiar close to enemies feels comfy too. Some of the offense oriented ones really are tempting, but I’m not mentally there yet.
