When i started whittling down to what skills are absolutely essential to Ascend, in order to play with ever smaller parties, the Bard is what remained, if not a Bishop, as a Solo having all necessary survival abilities. But in a larger group, i often picked a Gad as the third or fourth. Some of their 'spells' are very handy indeed, and i usually replace the OG with a Phaser as soon as i get to one, don't need ammo for them.
The L&T advantage is moot to me, as i have the patience to practise my craft.
You completely left out the most important instruments in your comparison list. Magic Screen and Soul Shield, spells which keep you from getting fried and insanified. And then Hex...
Of course, one of the most fun games i had was a Duo with a Bard and a Gad...
