The brig is actually the best if you look at it overall. It has the most speed (tied with sloop), most firepower (more cannons overall compared to frigate), and is only second with cargo (not really much significance) and HP (only very slightly). It is in fact more maneuverable than frigates too. The only negative is the cost, but that really is not much significance. The brig is also the best for customizing and benefits most from rank IV upgrades.
