I have a really hard time deciding who the best NPC is.
Keldorn was amazing, his dispels and true seeing just make the game Sooooo much easier, he also gets his "summon deva" as a special ability instead of having to summon it like a cleric would, at a much faster casting rate.
Aerie was an absolute monster. There were better Mages and Better clerics, but none that were both. Sorry, I found her good enough at both to justify her lack of being amazing at one of them. Sequencing her Cleric spells was just devestating in most cases. She also consistantly had an AC several points lower than my tanks, so she didnt really find herself in trouble too often.
Jaheira also kicked ass for me. You do have to boost her str but she DOES get to be a much better fighter than Anomen. Everyone rags on her cleric ability, but hey, she's not a cleric, she's a druid, with some of the coolest high level spells. The Elemental Lords that she can summon by the end are almost worth the price of admission alone, rivaled only by Planetars. I found her to be a very effective fighter with points put into staff and simitar.
I Loved Minsc, but had more than enough beef up front between Jaheira and Keldorn, with my Archer backing them up, so we sadly parted company. I also for roleplaying reasons, held onto Imoen even though when I rescued her, she was at least 4 levels behind Nalia. Wound up being very Mage heavy because of it.
Final party:
Sorrow (Archer)
Keldorn
Jahiera
Aerie
Nalia
Imoen
The game was almost too easy with this group.
