I was gonna ask for the best kit, but they probably go hand in hand. ^^
Im currently on my solo playthrough, but its so damn fun to think, create and build a new character so im already thinking about my next one.
Im gonna play a duo with Aerie.
My male paladin will protect and service my romance and future family with his life and the big juicy Carsomyr.
What kit experiences do you guys have?

If you play on low difficulty setups, Blackguard may be better than Inquisitor.
Considering Carsomyr also dispell magic, does that remove the pros about Inquisitor a little bit? Or is his dispell and also true sight still much better?
I have the impression that after you get Carsomyr, you don't realy need the dispel...
And in your specific case, Aerie could provide the true sight.
And for more information, look to this link:

The True Sight is also very, very useful. In fact, I often find myself using TS much more than Dispel Magic. Like the Dispel, the Inquisitor's TS is also instant cast, which can be quite relevant.
Then you have the Cavalier, with her debonair wit.
Blackguard and unkitted Paladin... I guess that depends on how you play them.
Sadly, Inquisitors tend to be pretty humorless.
Cavalier: His immunities to fear, charm and poison are incredibly relevant in BG1, but so is his lack of missile weapons. I'm never sure how useful his +3s vs dragons and demons are since those enemies aren't that frequent.
Undead Hunter: His immunities are far more relevant in BG2 and while undead typical aren't as hard as demons or dragons, you do fight a lot more of them.
Inquisitor: A bit different to the others, having two great abilities but being significantly worse than the others in a fight in BG2 since he lacks spellcasting. Spellcasting doesn't come into BG1 for paladins so he doesn't lose out there, but neither are his Dispel or True Sight as useful as BG2.
Blackguard: Immunity to fear is great in BG1 and level drain is great in BG2. His poison weapon ability is *really* good in BG1. He can still use missile weapons and has spellcasting so he's great in both games. No real disadvantage at all.
But for your game I would go with Cavalier. It fits the idea much better. They're the classic dragon-slaying knights in shining armor, and who better to guard a lady than that? You don't want Aerie to be stuck with a militant zealot like an Inquisitor, after all.
Also thanks to all the rest for your input. I love a good discussion.
Gonna roll abit and if im forced to i will lower str abit and buy that 19str belt as soon as possible.
Should be able to afford it right after circus tent and shadow thieves questline which got a crazy 10k+ final reward.
18/94 str
18 dex
18 con
11 int
14 wis
18 car
Imagining playing though BG1 and get all the tomes... But i wont, takes alot of time.
EDIT: Yes 13 wis is min. Ill let it stay on 14 since 11 int is somewhat of a magic number anyway.
Cavaliers are very well suited for BG1 (assuming others in your party can compensate for their inability to use ranged weapons), but Undead Hunters surpass them as better suited for BG2 IMO. Blackguards may be the consistently best kit through both games - assuming you don't mind playing as an evil char (and unable to use Carsomyr).
Already got the throwing axe from the party in sewers so no problem there!
