Here's my ideas I'm waiting for your comments. It's very enjoying to hear the ideas of other people and discuss.
1-I won't take Korgan because he's evil. I'm good.
2-I'll fire Jaheira because she's multi-classed. She's not good as a fighter her STR is only 15! And she's multi-classed.
3-I'll keep Yoshi 'til I find a good thief. I'll replace her with Imoen or Jan later.
4-Minsc rocks. He's my ranger.
5-How can I kick you Aerie my love. WEll its IMPOSSIBLE to have romance with NALIA so she's fine. She's not best mage or cleric in game I know but every party needs a 2nd spellcaster. She's got lots of speels.
6-I'm a fighter so I dont have any mage in my party except Aerie but she's not a high level mage. She's multiclassed. For example When Nalia exp is 3.000.000 (18. level), Aerie will have only 1.500.000 xp (14.level) There's 4 level difference! Unfortunately Nalia is the best mage in game for good characters off course. Too bad there isnt a "good-hearted" Edwin 
Well if u were who you will kick up and pick then?

As a good-aligned character, replace Jaheira with Anomen (he is weaker as a cleric than Jaheira, but if you do his quest right he improves immensely, and turns good to boot). Though her summons and anti-mage spells are nice, they are not absolutely necessary. You MUST take Nalia, for a short time at least (without spoiling too much, let's just say that since your protagonist is a fighter, you DEFINITELY want to do her quest and accept her offer afterwards). I would replace Yoshi with Jan. With his items, Jan is actually a better thief than Yoshi, and he has mage spells to boot (he is multiclassed, though; however, the reduced thieving abilities that Yoshi gets for being a bounty hunter makes up the difference). He is not as good at stealth, but you can always just turn him invisible (counts as hiding for purposes of backstabbing). This will give you 3 mages (a bit magic heavy, but nothing wrong with extra magic artillery), 2 clerics (one of whom is a decent front-line fighter), a good thief for disarming traps and opening locks, and 2 warriors (with Anomen technically being a third, since he has 7 levels in fighter and you can raise him to grandmastery in a weapon).
When you get Imoen back (a ways away), replace Jan with her. She is not as good of a thief (by then you will have plenty of items/potions to raise these abilities when needed; she is actually good enough to finish the game with), plus she levels faster as a mage. Just get as many scroll cases as you can get, and before you go rescue her, fill up the cases with a copy of each of the spells you can find (NEVER sell any spell that all of your party members know until you reserve a copy for her). The xp she will get from memorizing all of these scrolls will help catch her up with the rest of the party. Also, bring a potion of genius along to help with this (raises her intelligence, which allows easier learning of spells plus no restriction on number of spells per level). Plus, there are plot reasons that a good character would want to get her back (I will not spoil you on this).
Thus, when you finally get Imoen back, you will have an all-good party that will be strong through the game (and into ToB).
