I've always been more inclined to believe that the strongest in raw 'power' is more of what Peter's form was in S1. There's been little on TW that hinted otherwise: Peter, Alpha Twins Wolftron and the Beast were and we've yet to see the Nazi-wolf.

Now Talia was revered and powerful but with Laura, we really can't say but I'd wager she was powerful enough. The easy kill Derek had with the Beserker alone places him in the powerful slot as well, imo.

For me, it's simply a choice of aesthetics. I've always loved a more hybrid-beastial look. The Underworld, An American Werewolf in London, etc., forms have been the definitive look I've enjoyed most.
