Prodigal son or Prodigal daughter

I was thinking about buying one of these 2 dlcs and this will be my first legendary hunter, so I have a couple questions.

I understand that I basically only get weapon skins, but when I recruit them, do they come with their dlc loadout or with a random one?

Which one you think is the coolest? They are pretty similar, but I'm worried that a dark blue palette color (especially on the upcoming map) is gonna be extremely easy to spot.

Also, do you know if these 2 hunters somehow impact performance? I'm playing on PC btw.

Another alternative which looks kinda cool is Iron Bark, I've never seen him in any lobbies.

Cheers!
