I think the best battlemech to teach is the catapult since it has medium lasers which is a staple weapon and LRM's which teach the cluster table. What battlemech should I choose to teach against a catapult?

Thunderbolt.

Same tonnage, and you can also teach heat management.

Catapult vs Thunderbolt is a solid match, albeit the jump-jets on the Cat give it an edge. It's more forgiving than the Tbolt, that way.

Play two games, swapping the 'Mechs.
BattleTech is a huge house, it's not any one fan's or "type" of fans.  If you need to relieve yourself, use the bathroom not another BattleTech fan. - nckestrel
1st and 2nd Succession Wars are not happy times. - klarg1

I would be happy playing either mech.
Mobility vs armor.....

The ShadowHawk SHD-2H (bv: 1,064) Vs. The Wolverine WVR-6R (bv: 1,101) I'd say would be a pretty decent beginning game.
Corporal: Were under attack general.
General: who's attacking?
Corporal: Those 25 Urbanmech Mechwarriors you offended last week on Solaris.
General: That's....unfortunate. Could you remind me what I said to offend them?
Corporal: You said their Urbanmechs look like Locust-1Vs Sir.
General: ahh... I remember now.
