Most familiars do one thing, and one thing well. For the beginning player, these three basic familiars are great to have around; everything else is just icing on the cake.

Blood-Faced Volleyball: increases experience gain. The difference between having a volleyball and having any other familiar, as far as your levelling goes, is dramatic. If you're big on getting to higher levels, or getting just a few more stat points to keep from getting hit or to hit the monster, this is what you need.

After your first ascension, you can pick a Muscle zodiac sign and get a Flaming/Frozen/Stinky Gravy Fairy (or the Spooky/Sleazy types if you spend some time mushroom-farming and obsessively double-checking the wiki ), which gives item drops AND a small elemental attack, which is nice.

Leprechaun: increases meat drops. You wanna be rich, this is the familiar for you. Usually you don't use it all through your game; the best way to use him is to pick a spot with monsters that drop a lot of meat, and just go crazy there.
