Miqobot excels at crafting and gathering above all else, IMO. She is the bot to use for such things. That includes fishing and spearfishing, not just mining and botany. As a result, I’d say that all of the DoH/DoL classes are the top choice, but I’m guessing you’re asking about combat stuff.
Setting aside the global assist things like the 3D radar and its various features, if you’re asking about bot-assisted combat, then last I heard I think bard, dancer, and machinist were considered the best choices. Personally, I don’t really use combat assist (although I do use the squadron/trust system some) but from a purely theorycrafting standpoint, I’d assume that caster classes are probably not as good (or at least harder to do well) than classes that don’t have cast times on their actions if only because you won’t be interrupting them by moving.
That said, I’ve also heard testimony on the forums of people doing even end-game content with the bot and being completely successful, albeit also needing to sometimes manually handle certain boss mechanics that the bot doesn’t understand. Miqo’s combat assist is, AFAIK, a general algorithm, not tailored to any particular fight mechanics. She’ll do a good job overall, but edge cases will need operator intervention.
Finally, outside of the squadron/trust system – which only covers a (very) limited subset of the game’s available dungeons due to the complexity inherent in teaching a bot to play the whole thing – Miqobot only does combat assist, which is to say that she’ll handle (95% of) the fighting but you have to handle things like movement and selecting the enemies to attack. And that includes moving out of enemy AOE markers too.
