Aesthetically and from an immidiate and practical POV, I like the sorcerer tadpower. But.... I actually feel proper scolded during the "you're endangering the rest of us! Now apologize to the group and be a good boy/girl" - speech, so I've since tried restricting myself a bit per playthrough. Emphasis on *try*, though... Somehow ended up becoming True Soul in my current playthrough before even finishing the druid/goblin issue (tbf, by the time I killed the hobgoblin boss, I pretty much cleared everything "on the surface", including killing Ethel, reading the Thayan book, and killing the "devilhunters" , and giving Gale the two items he needs.) I think I used the illithid/wisdom option a bit too often when trying to delve in to companions' thoughts.
