Heh......you really like the mad smilies don't you.
To answer your question, I would pick Edwin, why?
-highest base INT of all mage type characters (at 18)
-extra spells due to personal amulet
-decent HP for a mage (CON at 16)
-VERY interesting NPC subquest
-pure class mage advance faster than multi-class mages
The down side is that he is a Conjurer, meaning the opposite school is Diviner. This means Edwin will miss out on spells like Oracle, True Seeing ... etc. But since he is usually not the only mage in my party, my other mage can cast these spells. He will also chicken out of certain fights and his lower DEX require spells and items beefing up his AC. The quest that involves in getting him requires some running around. And the fact that he is evil makes it a not so appropriate choice for a good aligned party and he doesn't get along with Minsc.
