the choices in the part1 are minor if you decide to choose Alice or Ilias you could choose again after you talk to Reaper in Hades and select Start New Game so you can start with same equip and nothing changed just you can select Alice or ilias if you want to change your partner, in Part2 change more, depending who you choose there are diferent dialogues yes. In Part1 Alice teach Luka abilitys like in the Original trilogy like Death Sword Chaos Star, Meditation, Demon Decapitation etc, Ilyas teach other skill like Alice but arent the same. In Part2 if you have Alice you will have exclusive characters like Alicetroemeria, Morrigan and Lilith & Lilim, with Ilyas you will have Lucifina, Micaela, Eden, and Heinrich Maybe you can get them all with ng+ (not sure). I did choose Alice because personally like her more the choose is up to you. You can recruit every monster in the game  not some bosses I would say recruit what monster you like some monsters are very strong or recommend to use like Honey Pot or Vitae in my opinion but you get them later in the game and because is hard to grind early in the game and you will get eventually more companions as you advance thats my advice.
