As Man's recruitable units are so good, its probably best to focus your pretender around really high scales (paid for in part by Drain-3). Thinks Man could use, though, include an A4 unit to build the Air Boosters, a nature mage to take advantage of gem income and summon uniques, Earth and Astral to build Crystal Coin and Communion Matrixes, and finally death magic for boosters and summoning uniques.

So frankly, I see a Man Pretender as there to spread magic diversity, which is best suited by some form of rainbow pretender (perhaps the Monolith, though that means no to site searching). The Tuatha Sorceress would be a good pick with A2N1 base and the handiness of glamour. Bit expensive though.
