I'm getting 25k nx, probably my only nx ever, so what pets should I get?

At least one Thoroughbred for ground traveling, and you probably want some kind of flier for air travel. The two carpet deal might be a pretty good deal.

Get a broom and a carpet they are all you need.

I'd say a carpet and a horse or ostrich. If any left over use it on other pets like yellow jindo or something.

It really depends on what you want to do. If you are an Elf or have an Elf alt (which you should, since they're free if you started with a human), then get the Thoroughbred for sure. Its speed makes it the absolute best pet for mounted combat, which only Elves can do (and mounted combat is what makes Elves really rock). If you're not interested in Elves, then the Shire is the best all-around pet, with two-person transportation (good for Tir Na Nog and Mana Tunnels), the best combat ability of any mount currently available, and a decent inventory size.
A flying pet is also very useful. The Eagle is the fastest flying pet in the air, but slow on the ground (about the speed of a running Elf). Oak Broom is almost as fast as the Eagle in the air, and much faster on the ground (same as Shire). Eagle is a somewhat better combat pet than the Broom; but I'd say go for overall speed rather than combat ability, since it will be primarily transport.
Thoroughbred also has fair combat ability, but you have to rank it very high very early to make use of it as a combat pet (same with all pets, really). The best way to do that is to log in as your pet and kill mongooses - start wtih the young/brown and work your way up to black.
If you can scrape up enough NX for a third pet, then I highly recommend a mini-bear for sheer combat ability, or an Afghan or Labrador for a combination of good combat ability and large inventory. If you're a good melee fighter, then a Sprite makes for good magic-combat/healing support, as well as giving an armour and protection boost.

Highly recommend at least one carpet (the dual-flier) as a pet.
They are as fast as pelican on air but they are decently fast on land, around Shire speed.
