I've played a Swashbuckler all the way thru before. One of the great advantages of playing any theif as a PC is that it means that your party will have a good solid thief all the way through the game. Imoen will basically get the job done, but if you want to take advantage of thieving abilities, you need to play a thief PC (or add a thief to your party thru multiplayer).
What I liked about the Swashbuckler kit is that it is the best combat thief kit. I tend to like playing my PC aggressively. Swashbucklers can get their AC down pretty low. It takes a bit more work than for the standard fighter types, but it can be done. My swashy was long sword dual-wielding terror. It was also great being able to set plenty of traps when the situation warranted.
I also like the paladin Inquisitor kit. I love its special abilities, the 2x Dispel Magic especially. Once you have an Inquisitor in your party (whether its your PC or Keldorn), you don't know how you managed before.
