The good thieves are Jan Jansen and Yoshimo. Imoen is fairly good but she will have to drink master thievery potions in some situations. Care must be taken so as not to lose Yoshimo in chapter 4. If you want a spoiler someone can tell you what you have to do.
Edwin, Imoen, and Nalia are the good mages. Edwin is the best but is evil. Obviously you can try to kill two birds with one stone with Imoen but you are going to have to wait a long time to get her.
Fighter-thief is probably better than a swashbuckler because he can wear plate and still detect traps (although there are plenty of good leather armors in the game). If you went the way of the swashbuckler, I wouldn't dual him because it takes too long to get the thief skills back (fighters need lots of exp) and he will still have a lower strength than a fighter.
