Cricket makes for a decent pure advanced focused build with it having the highest out of all of them (for some reason)
Cricket is fine but not good if your a min/max addict

The cricket class is less efficient for a quality build than both sweeper and bastard, because it puts an extra point into advance, that you likely won't use. I guess just pick based on starting gear?
After replaying game multiple times I will say ever since patch 1.5.0.0 path of the bastard is the strongest and most versitile starting build no matter what you are going for (unless its strength (aka motivity) handles specifically). Not only in 1.5 do you get the new broken weapon which naturally scales with technique (dex), rapier is pretty great too, especially when combined with different blades.
Even when you prefer big and slow hard hitting weapons in souls games, you dont need to put them on motivity handles, just put the biggest blade on a good technique handle, which you can get both pretty quickly in the game too, overall technique has the biggest variety of avaiable weapons for it whether you want to go for crits/stagger/parry/pure damage.
As for Advance, most advance weapons barely scale with dex or str, but many of them have side scaling with dex too, either way for that build you just pump stats in advance and dex/str don't matter that much.
In early game 12 starting vigor is pretty great too as you will basically have all the stamina you need for the entirety of the game with that much (Id say 12 is the sweet spot).
