Definitely Minsc and Imoen. Imoen is a useful thief and can become a superb mage. Minsc, love him or hate him, is one of the best fighters in the game and can also cast some spells.

By the time you get Imoen back, you generally don't need thieving skills, and her mage skills are better. Both rangers are ok, but most people prefer the interaction of Minsc.

I would go with Imoen over Jan, though if you can afford both in the party that might be the way to go. Jan says some really funny stuff, and seems to keep the whole atmoshere really light-hes also got a good thing going in terms of interaction with Minsc.

He takes the piss(in a good way) out of Minsc and his relationship with Boo and even tends to have his own designs upon Boo. This drives Minsc nuts, and is made worse-or better lol- by the fact that Boo seems to like Jan too. Then thing tends to be quite farcical at times and is very funny.

Otherwise, Imoen is competent enough as a thief-you can always boost her thieving skills with items and potions anyway. As a mage she is quite a bit better than Jan, and is likely to be able to cast the kickass lvl.8 mage spells at games end. I dont think Jan, being multiclassed, would be able to do this.
As to Minsc v Valygar, I havent really played with Valygar so I wouldnt know .
Minsc does rock though.
