There would be more room for individualization, and projecting the personality of the Wapsi characters, if it were more than just ponies. The more you expand the choices, the more range for expression... from just ponies, to equines in general, to quadrupled mammals, to mammals in general, and then even wider. There's enough variation among birds, for example, that some skilled person could probably do a wonderful range of Wapsi caricatures which would really fit the personalities of the characters.
Could go even wider, I suppose, and bring in some invertebrates, although since most of them have very non-human heads and faces it would be difficult to map the Wapsi characters' features onto them.
Crustaceans are right out, I suppose. Nobody's going to follow a "My Little Prawnie" franchise.
