Animal Companions: powerful charge or trample and which feats to take?


Advice

I'm about to acquire an animal companion for my inquisitor. (1ftr/4inq, + boon companion)
I am playing Reign of Winter, and have narrowed it down to a Mastodon or a Megaloceros. There are only 3 PCs, the Inq. a rogue and a witch if that changes any opinions. At the moment I am thinking about going with a Megaloceros and heading for Imp/Greater overrun and charge through. Is that a decent way to set up a powerful charge companion? Would the trample be better? Thanks for any insights!

Any thoughts before tomorrow would be very much appreciated!


Mastodon is a better choice I think.

1 Combat Reflexes
2 Power Attack
5 Improved Overrun
8 Greater Overrun
10 Charge Through
13 Dodge
16 Mobility
18 Paired Opportunist (or Lunge)

Divine Favor, Shield Of Faith, Bull's Strength, Shield Other, Divine Power, Shield of the Dawnflower and Righteous Might are spells youa re interested on casting in your mount.
