Ok, to clear up the confusion.

If you side with the Marines, you get the Seahorse Marine and Slug Marine, but you can't recruit Bonnie and Ashen. If you choose to side with the Pirates, you get Bonnie and Ashen, but can't recruit the Marines.

The Pirate Merchant for example can be recruited by both sides, as well as Leviathan. While the merchant is a normal companion, Leviathan requires some special events in order to recruit her. First you need to win against her in combat. Then you need to bring Selene to her and if you do so, Leviathan will automatically join your group.

Selene can be recruited once you have completed her quest chain (Required for the main story. So you can't miss it)
