Allies can be a 150% of Max cost.

Therefore is it ok to make a 1000pt character with a 1000pt Ally that is a robot/battlesuit?

Or would it be better to create a 600pt character with a 900pt Ally etc.

From powers it would be "Summon-able" and should either cost 5pts x3 15 or less for 1000pts that equals 30pts. Or the 900pt version would be 60pts. Yes these equations look broken but they are RAW.

GURPS Supers specifically mentions a battlesuit as an ally:

"Another option is to define the exoskeleton as an Ally, like a
vehicle, with sufficient Payload to hold the wearer. In that case,
buy the External ST and DR as “Granted by armor, -40%” and
treat the armor as having Special Abilities, +50%. Disregard
the gadget limitations for the armor’s abilities; it’s not a gadget
but a character." - SU79

The section on vehicles as Allies starts on page 84.
