Well I know you'll get some interactions if you have Monty & Xzar and Jaheira & Kahlid in your party [img]smile.gif[/img] As for other combinations, I haven't seen much more than the occaisonal one-liners myself, except with Kivan when Vicky is in the party.

Here is a blurb from Dan Simpson's BG1 guide about NPC interactions:

=================================================
=================SPOILER=========================
=================================================
=============NPC INTERACTIONS====================
=================================================
=================================================
=================================================

Have Minsc, Dynaheir and Edwin in the same party. Since Edwin wants to kill Dynaheir, Minsc gets all surly and protective.

Viconia and Kivan have a love-hate relationship, and also Viconia is very dimissive about Xan.

Put Yeslick and Kagain together to see just how different two Dwarves can be. Yeslick DESPISES Kagain.

Safana and Coran. Coran will flirt shamelessly with Safana, and she will rebuff his every attempt, quite humorously.

Quayle and Tiax. These two really don't like each other. Plus they're fairly amusing on their own.

Faldorn and Jaheira don't like each other either, as they belong to opposing druidic groups.

Put Eldoth, Skie, and Garrick together for a wild Love Triangle. Heh.

=================================================

As for whether or not to create your own party, you're not really missing much in BG1 by opting to not use the NPC's, although a group of well-rolled PC's may make the game a little easy. I usually use the NPC's for my group since the urge to create PC's with 18's in their primary stats would be too great. Having high stats for one PC isn't that huge a deal since it'll be balanced out by the rest of the party. My two cents anyway.
