it´s different if you have TOB (which i don´t) but for SOA, the following are absolute powerhouses:

kensai dual-classed to mage at lvl 9: with robe of vecna (need bonus merchants for this) you get around the armour restriction, it can reach the maximum level of a wizard, gets bonus spells like a specialist wizard and can turn itself into a juggernaught of destruction with beefing spells like stoneskin and improved haste.

ranger dual-classed to cleric at lvl 8: can cast all cleric and druid spells, vastly superior to any druid available. good melee capability and imo the best selection of spells in the game (though it sorely lacks the recycling/fast delivery capabilities of mages)

sorceror: amazing at later levels... with project image, you can recycle all your spells to a ridiculous amount, and the class is much better than normal wizards once you figure out which spells to chose.

figher/mage/thief: somewhat dull but a nice and easy way of killing most things: backstab, hide using the staff of the magi, sneak off and repeat until the opposition is dead. can be unsatisfying though.
