Like a fool I realized this morning that I can't dual Imoen to mage with the party I intend to play. Because then who'd do the thieving after she duals? Oh well. Thief she'll remain.
Well, since my next playthrough will probably be with EE, I will only use 'official' NPCs. Neera will definitely be included; Rasaad is a possibility. However, Finch (mod) is certainly on the waiting list. Dorn is interesting, since my Charname is never evil (tried it once in BG2 but got bored all too soon). Could he be included on a "'OK, Dorn, we disagree on most things but I benefit from having you in the party, and you...' 'Hm, yes, I despise you, but you get the job done'" basis? Could be interesting to find out.
I think I might count in the modified/edited NPCs category that you said that you forgot to include as a poll option.
The three 'permanent' members of my party are my PC, Viconia, and Sendai. I added Sendai to my party with the ctl q cheat three playthroughs ago and have had her in my party ever since. I recently learned how to use Near Infinity to transform NPCs into PCs, so in my next playthrough I plan to play with Sendai as my PC and with my current PC and Viconia along as NPCs.
In terms of editing the NPCs, ever since I hit the level cap five playthroughs ago, I've used Shadowkeeper to edit my characters' XP and levels so that they can still rise in levels anyway.

Also, seeing as I will be playing an Elven Mage/Thief, I think its a good combination.
