I have no favorite bodyguard, although the Baktrian Basilike Ile look badass.
Casse generals don't suck, they're just not designed to be used in melee. They grant morale penalties to the enemy, and have a good supply of javelins. If you use them in combat, drive them through the enemy troops instead of just attacking. This creates gaps which you can exploit by following up with your infantry.

With that said, compared to other generals they do suck.

I love Pahlava and Saka FMs. Those are the best in combat, and they look awesome. Romani are probably the worst, being horrible in combat and not nearly as cool-looking as the others.
