Hey, I have a new cw char and wondered witch companion would be better- Tank of Healer? I'd also like to know which companion you would recomend for both types... I have an angle of protection and wondered if she's good enough....
In the Zen Market: Absolutely best tank: Gale Duhr. it will keep Aggro from you and it always targets Brutes and Bosses, you are ranged class, synergy is awesome. Opposite the Galeb is the Owl - gives you 12% less threat and is a strong striker,m survives well. Both of these are Level 30 Companions (Purple).
Freebie companions in-game: Go for the Man at a Arms (since you already have the Angel) - use him when training the Angel, though he's not the best he is free and will help keep some aggro away from you.
My personal picks from best to last:
Augment for co-op Party Play always (Dungeon Delves, Skirmishes) once you reach level 60
Galeb Duhr - absolutely the best summoned companion for squishies (DC, CW, HR) Owl - Second best summoned companion for squishies (Best active bonus, does good damage, highly survivable)
Angel of Protection - good for keeping you healed-up - but not so necessary if you;re spec's for Life Steal, Regen, etc.
Freebie Cleric and Man-at-Arms are tied for 4th place as a summoned companion - but they are free.

Best DPS pet for CW is, without question, the wild hunt rider. It's incredible.
You also need an augment (pet priority #1). There are drawbacks and benefits to each one. For a detailed discussion, please see my CW guide in the companions section. There is a link in my signature.

If you are lvl 60 - Ioun Stone of Allure (or any other stone).
