I'm thinking of doing another story and it will involve cavalry but I'm not what kind of cavalry to go with here are the ones I like
Klibanophoroi
Gens 'D Armes
Huasaria
Note: I will not be using light cavalry or horse archers
So which type would you advise?

Silver Helms - you can be a little creative with their equipment, so that a unit could fulfill all the roles you have in mind.

Re: Need advice for story
I advise one where you are 100% accurate in what you write. We have enough historians and history affectionado's here who will point out all the mistakes.

Re: Need advice for story
I would say it's pretty simple. Where and when is the story set? The choices you give are fairly disparate, so it's important to know that first.
Most importantly, which do you want to write about? If you don't engage with your heroes yourself, your story will be a boring, Tom Clancy-esque description of equipment, and charge ranges and other technical details that will slow your narrative to a stand-still. Choose whichever interests you most, and your narrative will flow, as you will enjoy the writing more. And, of course, that's what people want to read. History books for minutae, stories for good reading!

Re: Need advice for story
Actually the Gens 'D Armes were more like Empire Knights (Equipment wise)

Re: Need advice for story
Except that they're more like Bretonnians. Since gens d'armes were French and wore French wargear, the Empire Knights clearly are a parallel to Full-Plate Gothic armour, which is German.
