I don't know offhand the range you'd need for Spipi, but of those two, I'd use the ranger over the beastmaster... and I'd really try and get ranger to 10. From my understanding, beastmaster starts with half the range of a ranger, and only increases every 20 levels, whereas a ranger widescan increases every 10 levels. So by level 10 as a ranger, you would be the same as a level 40 beastmaster... I think.

is it me or does the math not add up
beastmaster = 1/2 ranger
than ranger 10 = beastmaster 20

am i right?

Ranger starts off twice as large as beastmaster to begin with though, so at beastmaster's first upgrade (level 20), ranger has had two upgrades plus the larger initial radius.
