Nah, he'd stick with Ptolemy.
Why's he need a new friggin' form anyways.
Maybe goto Kitty when he needed a female (dis)guise.

Anyway, I think Bart would alternate between the two.
Seiously? 1st post here? Tough to believe.
I hope he would alternate between the 2 too. Dansariki though sticks to Ptolemy tightly. He's got a point though. Ptolemy's affections were different. He considered bart has a friend for a long time & did all he could to make him & the other demons free.

Whereas all Kitty did was go to the Other Place.
A big deal, but more like small change considering what Ptolemy did.

Wrong on sooo many levels.
Nat was a Magician.
Kitty was an unkown that trusted Bartimaeus, somthing Nat never did.
Need there be any more questions?

Yes, many.
Nat became bad coz he was bought up as a magician. No magician has even shown a little sympathy or kindness to demons. Not even Nat's hero Gladstone. Inspite of being brought up with wrong ideas we see him being different from other magicians. He dismissed Bart twice because he really liked him. It was'nt like he was helping himself when he dismissed Bart. Kitty liked Bart, no dispute there. But remember, she needed Bart. She summoned him, joined forces with him, went to OP -all because she needed his help to destroy the demons. It could'nt have been done otherwise. Also, she was rude to Bart in the start like Nat. She said she did'nt trust demons & stuff.
And on the trusting business, no fool would allow a demon into his voluntarily until he did'nt trust him completely. Nat said otherwise I know, but Nat is like Snape -he always hides his true emotions & hopes to be mistaken as a cool, emotionless, disbelieving gentleman.

Your argument doesn't change much.
Yes Kitty, needed him, but isn't that why Bart is summoned at all by Nat?
They're even there.

But what has Kitty done for Bart? Nat did a lot for him.

Nothing good, 'till releasing him from Death at the end of PG.
I still think he'd wear Ptolemy's.

Yes. Ptolemy did the most. More then Nat & Kitty put together.

Actually, I just took into account the main thing Nat & Kitty did for Bart. Nat dismissed him in the end & Kitty followed him to OP. Ptolemy did both & a lot more.

No he would. Ptolemy. Nat & Kitty (second).
If Honorious had'nt been encased in bones, who knows, he might have taken the form of Gladstone.
