Hmm if looks is only what matters to you why not make multiple sonas? o3o
When I was first making my sona I was between an otter, a cat and a wolf.. You see for me my sona's personality matters so I wanted something that matches up with mine.
Since I am not that into water (hate to get wet >_< ) I had to eliminate the otter :p Since otters swim etc..
So then I also eliminated the cat too because I felt wolves kinda act more like I do :p . They can work on teams but they can also be lonely walking in the moonlight howling :p . (Pretty much me except the howling ;p )
So there you go

I chose my species based on the personality I thought maybe you'd want to do the same

. And if you don't wanna have only JUST one sona then go for it and make a second and a third etc.. ;p
I'd say just try to experiment by thinking "what do I want this character to have" you'll see that most species will be eliminated from your list..
And the more you think about the final design like colors and other features the more species you'll eliminate.
If you end up with multiple species again as I said make more fursonas :p
Anyways SORRY for the long reply.. Hope I helped
