Accuracy of pets

Accuracy of pets - Brown Tabby Cat on Black and White Area Rug

I've seen many sources for the accuracy requirements for the Coils of Bahamut, and they're extremely important because missing attacks is crippling - at best it's damage/time lost, at worst you're a tank that can't get aggro.

I play a Summoner, and many guides list pets as falling into the "Flank" category for accuracy, but others just list "Flank + Garuda" - I've also noticed that many (90% or more) Summoners act like Garuda is the only pet that exists.

I prefer Ifrit personally. Contagion ability is useful, but Ifrit's auto-attacks in addition to weaponskills boost my dps by a good 20-25% so... yeah, Ifrit for me.

And this has me wondering, which Accuracy cap does Ifrit (and by extension Titan) use? As a melee pet, does it use accuracy caps based on its position like melee dps classes do? Should I learn to be more aware of my pet's positioning (other than the obvious "not in front of it")? Could I get away with fewer points invested in Accuracy if I position Ifrit behind the target?

Basically, any Ifrit-specific information regarding use in Coils would be handy :D Garuda is not the only pet!

PS: Scholars, pets need Stoneskin too!
