Caveat, I can't vote for anyone I haven't met yet. Even Minsc.
It's the same with me, so I chose from the companions I already know (as companions; unfortunately, the first encounter with Karlach was quite short. But I like her and could very well imagine her in my party).
I think in my first playthrough, I will play a High Elf bard (or a sorcerer), and I would take Shadowheart, Astarion and Wyll along. But I had a really hard time to commit to an answer. If I could, I would choose all of them
