Unsure on how to proceed with Choco breeding

[KonOkami]

So I finally got my pedigree 5 babies with some good results in them but I'm unsure on how to proceed now.

First of all here are the good/decent results:








The way I see it is the first two are great breeding mates that could potentially lead to a full 4* pedigree 6 baby with Stamina II, which I quite like, however that would mean double the work and I'd be locked into Shale Brown which is just not my favourite possibility.
I really like the Void Blue one but compared to all the rest it carries a lot of genetic garbage and there's no incest possibility that would result in a full 4* baby.

So the real question is this. Do you feel it's best to aim for stats early and work on color after you have your full 4* ped 9 bird or shall I proceed with my mediocre bird that has a color I like and spend a lot of MGP gambling on mates for him?

Also if you see any other options with the birds I have linked above that I didn't mention pls feel free to share it.

I only became really picky with stats at G8, maybe G7. Levelling at G9 isn't really a huge grind or anything so unless you're in a rush then I'd probably prioritise getting a colour and skill you are content with above all else. Stats can always be fixed.

Thank you for the reply. I got impatient and proceeded with the breeding above, which I guess you'd say I got lucky since I got a great Male but no female worth breeding with so ima focus on the color this time as you suggest ^^
Skills really aren't an issue since most of them can be gotten with manuals after you beat the challenges. Just gonna focus on those on G8
