Mounted Menagerie- A Cavalier "Mini Guide"

Liberty's Edge

So, with all sorts of great options like the Beast Rider Cavalier, the Monstrous Mount feat, and the Leadership feat, cavaliers have a surprisingly long list of wonderful mounts to choose from when they're about... level 7-ish.
So far, at level 7 you have a really big list to choose from if you're a beast rider (which, let's face it, it's an amazing archetype, it really is) and even more options if you've picked up the Monstrous Mount feat at level 5. The best of these options is clearly the dienychus, but you only get that if you are small, and it's not the tankiest. I would say that if you are medium, then something like a tiger or lion is also really good, as it gets a pounce, but nothing can really beat the thematic awesome that is riding around on a freakin' T-Rex. If you also have the Monstrous mount feat, the flying mount options, especially the Griffon, are really great, as it's hard to get a flyer any way else. Anklysaurous are incredibly tough.
ANYWAY! You get the point now- The Beast Rider is great, as is the Monstrous Mount feat.
HOWEVER... I don't know everything, so here's where you come in. What do you think the best PFS legal mounts are for the cavalier? Throw around ideas, because I need a little inspiration for what I'm doing. All ideas are good. Getting a level dip, taking a few extra feats, ANYTHING. I wanna know what you think the best mounts are, so that I can determine that for myself. Thanks guys!
