In my opinion HaerDalis compliments Imoen. He's got the two thieving skills that she never developed: pick-pocketing and, at high (ToB) levels, Set Spike Trap. HD is a fine back-up mage, and if you get him early enough, his level shoots up so quickly that he'll be summoning Skeletal Warriors while everyone else is level 11-12.
Of course, your Inquisitor may have issues with some rogue picking pockets... if you're playing a no-theft-allowed game, half his usefulness goes out the planar conduit.
