Arledrian is mixing up Quayle and Tiax--easy to do, as they're both healers, both Gnomes, and both annoying.
Quayle is a Neutral Cleric/Illusionist you meet right before entering Baldur's Gate. Tiax is an Evil Cleric/Thief inside BG city itself. Neither of them have an impressive Wisdom score, as I recall, and by the time you get to them you've probably already put a pile of EXP into one of the other Priests anyway.
Generally, I like Branwen: She's got a good WIS and I can get her early. Jaheira is better on the front lines, but as a Druid she doesn't get the spells that are only for Clerics, some of which I really happen to like. Yeslick is good, but you have to wait a while to find him, and Faldorn has the problems of Jaheira and Yeslick combined.
BUT:
Canderous.
