Which Fire Pokemon would be best for my Crystal team- Arcanine or Magmar?
Here are the other Pokemon:
Meganium
Starmie
Raichu
Pidgeot
Nidoqueen
and I can't make up my mind about the last spot!

The rest of your team has a 3x weakness to Ice, so Arcanine might be better due to learning Flame Wheel (the hah-hah-I'm-not-frozen-anymore attack.)

I think that Arcanine would be better then Magmar. If you are interested, here are some movesets for Magmar and Arcanine.
Arcanine
Flamethrower/Fire Blast
Extremespeed
Crunch
Sunny Day/Curse
@Leftovers.
Magmar
Flamethrower/Fire Blast
Thunder Punch
Cross Chop/Confuse Ray
Sunny Day
@Leftovers.
Also, just a little advice, your team has a 3x weakness to Ground types, (Arcanine/Magmar, Raichu, and Nidoqueen) and a 3x weakness to Ice types. (Meganium, Pidgeot, Nidoqueen)

I'd personally go with magmar. It has more verstility, can learn cross chop and t-punch, along with the sometimes useful counter, and can very much put a bigger hurt on someone than arcy can.
