This really depends on how you plan to play your party. If you see your cleric as a pretty much supporting spellcaster, then you want the best cleric as such, and that's Viconia. She'll get more spells per level, since her Wisdom is 18, vs. Anomen's 16 (after knighthood). She has a 19 Dexterity, which means she can avoid incoming missiles that interfere with spellcasts fantastically well; and her dark elven heritage means an unusual degree of magic resistance.

But if you want a cleric who can also serve as a tank, then Anomen's your candidate. He's a much better fighter in battle--very fine, in fact--and an above average cleric. And while Viconia will leave your party if your rep goes above 18, Anomen will leave only if it drops below 3.

I've played with both: different styles, basically, but both are great to have along.
