Yoshimo is far and away the best thief in the game imho, personally i can't stand Jan and couldn't wait to abandon him in spellhold for eternity. Being multi classed he could never compete with Yoshimo as a thief, particularly later in the game. Yes Turnip brain is a mage as well but thats not the question, Yoshimo is the best thief.

Don't get bogged down into thinking that potions of invisibility and Master Thievery are the only potions available for a thief, there are a good few others.
