Go thieves.
Yes, you don't get to kill Renal Bloodscalp and loot his boots of speed, but instead you get 3 thieves in chapter 6 as cannon fodder for the bunch of vampires you have to kill anyway you play the game.
And the vampires aren't tough, you just lead with a fighter/druid wearing the amulet of power and really good armor - like full plate & a great magical shield. It's even better if they can carry something which messes up a Vampires' day - like Azureedge.
I finished the Ch3 Vampires when I was L10, it was a piece of cake.
Of course, the thieves would have been a cakewalk, too.
