Hallo Artemis, cool topic,
IMO Imoen is a better thief than Nalia.She is after all a level 7 thief while Nalia is level 4(?)-though as Memnoch said, dont expect either of them to do too much hiding in shadows, backstabbing and/or pickpocketing.Still for an all star good team I'd go with Imoen.Besides she doesnt whine as much as Nalia

.
As to other good guys,
You have to have Keldorn.A true gentleman warrior and virtuous knight.Anyway, how could you have an all star good team without a Paladin?Give him the gauntlets of dexterity(he really needs these) and the Carsomyr and he becomes a power to be reckoned with.
As far as Minsc goes, Minsc is just Minsc!!!A great melee fighter and/or archer who complements your party in almost every possible way-besides its good to have a party mascot in Boo.Theres been a lot of debate over whether Valygar is better than Minsc-frankly its tough to decide either way.Though maybe Minsc's underused rage ability gives him a slight edge?
Jaheira is pretty good to have too, especially once you give her strength enhancing equipment-she really needs it if she is to be an efective front liner-I have her wielding a scimitar+3 and an AC of -7.So she is definitely worth keeping around.
Ah as for Yoshimo he is the best thief in the game but otherwise...*spoiler alert*

Returning to the thread:
Jan is a very good thief and an able back up mage,
have him and Minsc in the same party and watch some crazy comedy

.Those two together are a crack up!
I dont know much about Anomen as I disliked that guy at first sight and dropped him fast-though as an essentally pure cleric I can see his uses.
No one knows much about Haer'Dalis so I am going to pick him up into my group and see what hes like-a difficult decision as I am pretty attached to my guys right now and dropping anyone will be difficult

.
As for Mazzy.... to be honest I dont really rate her.Maybe I should play with her more, I dunno.
Anyways the party make up you have is, I think, very good at the moment though you will have to make changes down the line.I dont want to spoil any surprises for you-but as you alreay know that you get Imoen back I'd recommend swapping her with Nalia.Or maybe Jan for Nalia, and then later Imoen for Jan?
This would mean that you could even drop Yoshimo for another NPC-Keldorn maybe?
Depend what you are working with and what you want-maybe you could even bring back Nalia and form a powerful magic orientated party?That would be a very strong party indeed!!!Especially as Magic kicks a$$ at the higher levels of the game, and as the story proceeds.

Have you ever wondered, little bird, what it must be like to look at the world through the eyes of a God?
