I've had two henchwomen (wenches

) through chapter 1. Sharwyn, the bard, has too many abilities with too low an a.i. to be effective. She tends to burn out all her spells before I need healing, and in melee combat she always tries to disarm, drawing attacks of oppertunities to her low AC and getting killed. If she has a bow, she stays alive longer, but doesn't do much good...

Linu is for my playing style much more effective. She seems much mroe conservative with casting her spells, and she is better in melee (although the higher level I get, the weaker she seems in comparison).

I think it depends on what type of character you're playing, and you're playing style. Try taking one of them on each of the main quests in Chapter 1 and see who you like the best.
