Gothita (43) or Gothita (44)?

Generally, if its a pre-evolved form that isn't meant to attack I prioritize retreat, then hp, then energy cost, then ability to stall. Since these Pokemon all have the same hp and retreat, I'd use the Gothita and Cubchoo on the left since they can attack for less energy and stall at the same time. For the Gothorita, I think the one on the right is slightly better since neither does that much damage and removing an energy can be helpful. I don't know the set numbers, that's why I somply put the one on the left/right.
IMO, I think:
#43 Gothita is more useful just because it can attack for one energy. It has the potential to do 40 for 2 compared to 20 for 2.
#45 Gothorita is better because it doesn't need 3 energy to attack. Two energy for a Stage one (of a Stage 2 line) is the most I'd attach to it. Also, I just like the art more.
#28 Cubchoo is better because, like the Gothita, it can use an attack for one energy. I also like the art better on this one than the other Cubchoo.

For Gothita, definitely #43 is better. #44 needs two energies to attack, so that makes #43 much faster. #43 also has some good attacks. The first attack can act as an early nuisance in that induces the defending with auto-sleep. The second attack, while flippy, had the potential to do 40 damage, which isn't too bad.
For Gothorita, both look pretty good. #45 is a fast and a disruptive attacker due to its confusion, while #46 helps discard energies. #45, though, is better in the end. The format focuses on lesser energy attackers, so #46 is not wise to run in a format focusing on minimal energy.
For Cubchoo, run #28. The fact that #29 needs two water energies to attack is a huge letdown, and it really takes away speed already. #28 is more consistent in that the first attack is quite good and needs only 1 energy, and the second attack has a colorless cost.

#43 Gothita, just better overall and can attack for 1 energy.
#45 Gothorita, more useful attacks, but this one is a lot closer. As Mudkip said, you wouldn't want to attach more than 2 energy to it. Besides, the Confusion is nice.
#28 Cubchoo is better because it can stall and heal. You probably shouldn't be using it to attack regardless, though, particularly with more than 1 energy.

For Gothita, the first is better. It can put your opponents active to sleep, which can save you from a donk or stall.
For Gothirita, both are good, and I think it decides on this: Would you rather possible mess up your opponent, or do up to 40? I have one of each in my build to see which preforms better,
For Cubchoo, I'd also pick the first because of the sleep chance, and it can heal damage which could be useful for stalling against Donphan.

45 Gothorita. You might be able to donk Babies T2. OR if you attached an energy T1 to it, you can play a PlusPower and KO it with no flips. Plus, Confusion is so boss when it comes to Pokemon like Donphan and Beartic. I suppose 46 could work, but it is a flip. I'd do 45, but if you're playing like, 2+, just mix it up.
The lines on the left would be the ones i'd use. It's always good to be able to attack T1 if you start with them.
