They are all pretty useless, certainly you can generate a better char yourself.
RFS the Android who you may or may not have come across is about the best, mainly because of his "personality".

I think RPCs are one of W8's weaknesses as a game, the time they put in development of this game area could have been better spent finishing some of the uncompleted bits and pieces, and having a traditional gorrors area near the end. If it had been designed as a solo game then RPCs would be good, exspecially is they were available for the tougher areas, but when you already have up to 6 chars whats the point of dragging along more chars who at least part of the time wont go to some of the game areas when you need them?
Personally I never felt RPCs were "part of the team", just ocassional hangers-on.
