As a general rule, I tended to export my main PC somewhere toward the end of BG2. And while I was at it, I stripped the NPC's downto their skivy's and gave it to my PC for safeguarding during export
I should have several PC's ready.
Ranger - Archer (from BG1 through BG2)
Fighter/Cleric
Swashbuckler/Figher
Fighter/Swashbuckler
Kensia/Mage
Paladin
Cleric (from BG1 through BG2)
Necromancer/Thief
[oops] forgot the evil Bard
