I've had trouble repitching onto it, though - good attenuation but some off-flavors. I stopped reusing yeast cakes a while ago - not just for pacman but everything - and the problem went away.
Kind of off-topic but yeah, there's definitely a difference between reusing yeast and repitching onto an existing cake. Usually when you pitch onto an extant yeast cake you're really overpitching and you're adding a fair bit of extra trub and crud into the brew. I will harvest yeast from an older batch, rinse it, and repitch part of it into the next generation of brew. Saves a lot of money on yeast; a proper pitch into a moderately-sized beer (1.065) would usually be two smack packs or vials per five gallons. Even starters start to get pricy when you calculate how much you're spending on DME (not as much as more vials, of course, but still).
Back to the OP: I would suggest your first brew be a moderate-strength American Pale Ale or American IPA with a fair amount of crystal malt. Like I said, pacman loves crystal malt (and so does Rogue, they have up to 20% crystal in a lot of their brews, which is why pacman is the way it is). Yooper's Dogfish Head 60 clone with 12-16 oz of crystal 40 or 60 thrown in is roughly the house IPA I've been fiddling with for a while now.
I would also suggest you try and get an estimate of how much yeast you have in your growler and use
Mr. Malty to figure out how much you need. Use the repitching from slurry calculation, but if you just measure the stuff at the bottom of the growler you can increase the yeast concentration slider up to 3.5 or 4.0 billion/ml.
One good way to estimate how much yeast material is in your growler is to take a second, identical growler, and add 10 mL at a time to it until you get it filled to the same level that the yeast are at in the fridge.
If it turns out you need more yeast than you already have, what you can do is this: figure out how many billion cells you have right now (volume * density) and set that as the viability percentage of a "vial" on the vial of liquid yeast tab on Mr. Malty. So if you've got about 180 billion cells, but need 250 billion (because you're doing 5.5 gallons of 1.065 beer), you tell mr malty that you have 1 vial of 180% viable yeast, and it tells you that you need to put that vial into 1.43L of a simple starter or 1L of stir-plate starter.
