You'll be pretty dependent on support summons for quite some time when starting out, and probably for a while after that as well. Max lvl servants with max skills are far too good to pass up in most situations.

In terms of what might give your account the most agency though, it'll probably be the caster banner due to waver being really strong even without lvld skills. His skills allow you to battery servants to or close to 100% depending on what CEs you have. This means instant 100% for any support summon equipped with a Kscope and 100% for a servant of your choice equipped with a 50% starting NP CE.

Tamamo needs little explanation. Stick her in an arts comp and spam arts chains to fire off as many NP as you can. She offers good healing, skill CD reduction, and 25% NP charge party wide everytime she fires off her NP, which will be often.

Xuanzang is the weakest pick here, but she's quite strong and fills a peculiar niche of ST offensive caster. Useful for fights where multiple tanky assassins are present since zerkers might melt given how high assassin crit rates are.

Saber banner will offer you some really strong picks in Mordred or Altera, but you'll more or less be in the situation you're in now, relying heavily on support waver/tamamo/merlin etc to make your team comps survivable or capable of consistant dmg.
