I acually stuck with Saxx and Madras for awhile.
Saxx was useful for the fact that there are enough instruments around for two bards. At the start of each combat, my bard would play the rousing drums and Saxx would play Angel's tounge. Haste and Bless cast at high level while my Bishop can whip out some nasty offensive spell, Element Shield, or Soul Shield.
Madras took a little while, but once he got to the mid-teens in level he was a very useful party member. An advance Omnigun is something to behold...especially in the hands of a gagateer with Eagle Eye and loaded with high-power Ammo. By the time Madras was around level twenty he could dish out 150+ worth of damage/rd at range (Using Hunter Bolts), in addition to all sorts of nasty conditions. That's not to mention all the cool gadgets (Port-a-Potty and whatever the heal-all gadget was being his favorites).
Alas, there were just too many placed they didn't want to go, so I cut them loose.
