I just don't like Halsin, because he ads nothing to the story after his quest in act 2. So yes, Jaheira is my go to druid companion (since BG1, she is the best).
I'm not at all attracted to Halsin, so the romance is no argument to keep him either. If people like him - power to you. I just don't care about him, he is just the spare to get abducted in my games.
