Keldorn will leave your party after a short time, and you won't be able to get him back. You invest XP and items into him and poof! Bye-bye.
Anomen, OTOH, can become a member of the order if you handle things right which will get him a stat increase. Also, he becomes much happier (less pissy) once he becomes Sir Anomen. Finally, if you put the girdle of Hill Giant Strength (str 19) on him and give him a good mace like Ardutia's fall, you won't miss the sword, I guarantee it.
As for Cernd, his stats are pathetic until he shapechanges, but while in his other form he can't spellcast. I like his voice and his picture, but nothing else about him. YMMV, of course.
