Ly Thuong Kiet v/s Boudica

Currently a k34 with ghostable troops. I'm planning to build a t1 trap as soon as I hit k35 and upgrade the essential buildings.

Boudica Pros: everyone and their mum suggest her, easy to ascend Cons: When I went through her ascension star buffs, she mainly buffs up mounted and ground troops. But we usually ghost our cavs and the t1 cavs benefit from flats on the gear rather than percentages, so is it necessary?

Ly Thuong Pros: buffs up ground and ranged, and some mounted too when ascended, also easy to ascend. Cons: Minimal buffs for mounted troops

Also, what would be a good assistant for either of these?
