If that was directed to me then here is what I have to say; Yoshimo's only benefit over Jan and Imoen is that fact that he is single class, which means several things: (the following is generally speaking of pure class vs multi/dual)
1) pure class will level faster
2) pure class will reach higher thief level under exp cap (of course this becomes irrelevant once you take the exp cap away)
With that said, I must also add that you can only be so "specialized" in one particalar class, at one point the rate of the benefit provided by that class will begin to diminish since the thiefing points are also limited (at 200 in general I think, without item enhancement) when comparing to other characters who have several other skills under their belts. I mean, com'on, the locks are not so difficult to pick, and I've found that even Nalia can detect traps. If I have to pick, I will definitely pick Jan or Imoen over Yoshimo due to:
1) emphasis on magic in the game
2) you only need a decent theif, you don't need the best thief to pass the quests in the game
3) Jan is an party animal!!!!
