Kind of a tangent, but are you starting at 1st? Battlemaster kicks in at 3rd. And, how long do you foresee the campaign going? It might be worthwhile to get your three top maneuver picks at 3rd level. It may or may not be worth worrying about the next three (or even taking the fighter levels to get your 4th-6th best maneuvers).
Started at 1st. Now second and I suspect 3rd soon. And yeah, I'm thinking in terms of the top 3. Heck, at level 8 I may grab the feat that gives me two more choices (eh) and an extra die (big deal I'd say). Not sure it's worth a feat of course...
