Well, there are plenty of combinations possible and I suspect that the 'best' or 'most powerful' often depends on playing styles as much as actual power. For what it is worth, I would say,
PC - Fighter/mage/thief - the one man commando - can demolish most things with ease, no other class has that versatility.
Jaheira - probably the most powerful NPC, has no weaknesses at all (except for a slightly lower HP and even this can be remedied).
Aerie - her contingencies are awesome, makes for a decent backline archer (good dex score) and at higher levels, can cut through undead (turn undead) like a knife through hot butter. She has all the defensive spells and is the one stop magic shop.
Keldorn - dispelling is just awesome and his fighting stats are also quite decent(just get him the gauntlets of dex. from the undead city).
Valygar or Mazzy (You need an archer and these are the two best archers in the game).
Imoen - the second best mage in the game and she is extremely useful with a bow as well (in contrast to Edwin who, with his THACO and dex. will have trouble hitting a barn door without magic). Also, she has much better stats than Edwin. Get her some equipment like the ring of acuity/wizardry and you have a great mage and thief.
