Depends what you mean by "any good" really. For most tamers I'd say go with kitsune if you want the good all-rounder. Also because kits have a lower skill requirement, it means they're well suited to a more limited template.
Raptors are great if you aren't into the uber power of a pet and you want to use something different. They are fast and hard to tame - they love to summon more raptors which you can't tame and their spawn location can be quite "active" lol. It's worth taming one just to have fun down there, I had my partner along and it was hilarious fun
From memory I think they have raptor pack instinct. I haven't trained a pair up to see what they're fully capable of, but I do think they're a cool pet to have. Just not one I imagine many players working with, because folks often tend towards the power house pets rather than simply fun hunting companions
