The... Title here, probably explains itself . I will start:
Booming: Probably Ra. Egyptian economy in general is pretty good -If-You micro it well, and Ra bonuses in particular make it much easier for you to micro it properly. I mean, we all know Ra Fast Heroic strategy, dont we?
Rushing: A LOT of options here, but I am tempted to say Odin. Any of the three Norse minor gods could qualify, honestly, but the reason why I choose Odin over the other two is his hunting bonus. It is not like Thor own weirder and more gimmicky economical bonuses( Why would you want your dwarves to be "better" at gathering food and wood if they still wont be gathering food and wood as fast as normal gatherers anyway? ): It is straightforward, for free, and it comes with no downsides whatsoever, allowing for a fast advance to the Classical Age and thus, for you to produce Raiding Cavalry faster. Quite appropriatedly named, as Raiding Cavalry just might be the best Classical Age raider on the game.
Turtling: I am indecise between two: Hades, and Isis. Hades has overral stronger defenses( Where it comes to dealing with "normal" attacks ) and a strong Myth Age... But Isis has this amazing ability to cancel out God Powers around her monuments. Any turtle player knows how frustrating it is to have your fortifications rapidly tore to shreds by a Earthquake... Isis doesnt have to deal with this frustration.
