I would say Houndoom. His mega is very intimidating.

It really depends on what you need your fire type to do. If you need something to counter Aegislash, Pyroar or Houndoom will work, although Pyroar can switch into a shadow ball or shadow sneak with impunity instead of half damage, and both can soak it's steel type moves; just watch out for the occasional Sacred Sword. Talonflame makes an amazing revenge killer, but that's really more due to it's flying typing rather than it's fire typing. Talonflame is a Hard-Counter to pretty much every fighting type out there, because almost none of them can take a Brave Bird to the face; it's also great against Mega Venusaur if you don't have a psychic type to take it out.
Choice banded talonflame is really good, although tyranitar and def. rotom-w are pretty good checks. You could always predict a switch and U-turn, I guess?! Pyroar and houndoom? I like them, too... whee
