You arent giving us enough to work with. "pet tanking" is almost as broad a catagory as "hunter dps"
Are you talking about leveling 10-45? Then get a ferocity pet to hold better aggro.
Are you leveling 45+? You have a choice: stay with feroicity for single-target killing, or get a tenacity pet for aoe leveling. Croc is generally considered to hold threat the best.
Are you already at 80? Do you want your pet to tank 5 man groups and heroics? With a healer? You probably want a croc again, but you might want to call stabled pet and switch to a turtle for boss fights. (some people see good results with a warp stalker as well)
Are you already 80 and looking to "extreem solo"? Heroic MGT, or Northrend dungeons, or Attumen the Huntsman? Again you probably want a turtle or a warp stalker, with maybe a croc to swap back and forth between trash and bosses.
Are you 80 and just looking for a tank to do your dailies with? Or to farm meat/skins with? Probably a croc then, but really any tenacity pet will work.
You need to be a bit more specific

Bears are the best AOE tank. Turtles are the most resilient single target tank.

I've used both a bear and a croc for multi mob tanking and to me the bear is the better pet. The cooldown on bad attitude is too long and even though the bear's swipe is limited to the front arc it doesn't take much maneuvering to get the mobs in front of the bear.
Exactly, if mobs get behind your pet, call your bear back, then target the closest mob to you, send your bear at that target, boom, all mobs are now in front of your bear. Too easy.
