I'm going to say Minsc is better than Korgan. Korgan is better in a full-out brawl (yes, his AC is 1 point worse than Minsc's, but his hitpoints make up for it), but Minsc can heal himself afterwards. Korgan can get Grandmastery, but then again, that means Minsc can learn more weapons. He can Stealth, too.
But why take either when you can take Valygar? [He's a lousy Tank, but great otherwise] And why take ANY of them when you can get Keldorn? Slap the Gauntlets of Dexterity on him and he's almost as good as your PC! (The only things I don't like about Keldorn are that they could have given him 18 CON, and they made him an Inquisitor.)
