TheWoWDBEven if it's only a hint of possibility of a flying mount, clearly the choice is Larion.
The only way Phalynx would be in any way superior is if five of them came together to form a super-robot-cat.

I wanted to note that once you complete this quest as Kyrian you will go back to Elysian Hold and whichever one you chose you will be able to have as a companion for your mission table. Pelodis Nemea
The choice only affects characters in the Kyrian covenant
I chose Phalynx on one character and Larion on another. Both characters can now have Gatamatos and Lentios as guardians simultaneously, however:
- Gatamatos is limited to the Forgefire Outpost, Namea's Retreat, The Golden Pasture & Greatwing Roost areas, but has no time limit
- Lentios requires Larion Treats and can be taken all over Bastion, but only lasts for 10 minutes
This choice has absolutely nothing to do with mounts. If you want any of the Kyrian specific mounts you just need to be in the Kyrian covenant and progress accordingly
NOTE FOR KYRIAN COVENANT CHARACTERS:
If you chose Phalynx you will have Pelodis as an companion. If you side with Larion you will have Nemea as a companion. Both attack the furthest enemy and you cannot have both on the same character. The only difference I can see is that Pelodis does Holy damage and Nemea does Physical damage. I cannot say which one has a clear upside over the other since ideal damage type is dependent on the adventures available

I hope that working with my phalynx has swayed you, {name}. Let us meet with Nemea. There you can decide whose way of life is superior, and which you would prefer to pursue.

Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Success Without Soul
The larions seem to truly enjoy your company, Andira most of all. I hope you've come to understand and appreciate the nuance of working with a beast with free will. Now you must spend time with Pelodis, down the hill.
