Which level 2 creature is the best?

In principle, I've always been against such questions created by this kind of "authors"... what does "better" or "worse" even mean? You can only say that in relation to a specific situation. Even if the comparison is as simple as a 1-on-1 creature fight, you still need to specify that. And all these arguments, especially with such a brilliant knowledge of the "might and magic" Russian language, are just nonsense. Author, drink some poison.
