From a gameplay perspective it is not even a question. Strong support is 9/10 times the best investment, and Merlin is top-tier even among them. If all you care about is gameplay value, Merlin is what you want. That said, the game never gets hard enough where you absolutely need him, so most people will advise you to get the one you like the most. As for what type of team to go for, it's honestly up to you. If you end up with Merlin, he's best with busters, so go for buster for the short-term, but just know that Scathach is one of the best quick servants in the game and quick servants in general tend to function pretty independently anyway, so there's no harm in going with that option either. Also, from my experience, people place way more emphasis on team-building than needed. I've literally been using whatever servants I feel like in whatever combination I want for all but the hardest content (ie, challenge quests, certain story fights), and as long as you don't use servants that are weak to enemy classes, you probably won't have much trouble with anything you choose.
