Yes, in the last party, and now the current one, I've kept Vi and RFS, as they were both magic heavy parties, and agree that they are the best ones (IMHO) to recruit. The only other NPC I've used is Madras for the reasons given above.
I used Urq solely as someone who can identify items for me (if I don't have anyone in the party to do it for me) so recruit and then dismiss him in the Mook building. Otherwise Vi or a relevant spellcaster does it.
Don't know if anyone agrees but I think it's probably better to develop NPCs who will be of use to you on AP for the end game hence Vi and RFS. I think Saxx goes to the Peak but am unsure of who else will. As far as I'm aware, only Tantris and RFS go willingly to the Rapax areas, is that right?
