I like Teldryn quite a bit, especially on a less magic based pc, adds some variety to the damage being dealt. He's got a lot of survivablity and I never seem to get hit with his spells like other mage followers. I like Lydia too, she's pretty basic, but she definitely serves a very powerful role. Anekke(sp?) is a great follower too if you need a ranged attacker, Faendal is good with that too, and he looks great with a crossbow and full dawguard light armor set with my crossbow light armor nord :P (Jenassa fits here as well). I'm partial to Uthgerd too, she has the potential to be either a tank or a striker, and I like having that kind of versatility. Frea was pretty fun as well, I like having a heavy armor user that will dual-wield, nice to have someone that is able to deal large amounts of damage while being well protected. I just tried out Belrand today, I liked him okay, but he never cast anything but a flesh spell, a familiar, and a basic heal. I think Teldryn beats hm out with his more aggressive tactics, which is why I switched to him. When I'm in need of some pure magic, I like either Aranea or Brelyna. Both are cool looking dark elves and they both have powerful spells they can use. Lastly, Kharjo is an excellent defender, I've had bery few issues on master difficulty with him being the only source of both damage and protection, as I'm a pure healer/buffer. He takes little damage, blocks VERY well, and is generally likable. That's what matters the most to me, before I choose a follower, I ask myself "Do I like, or think I may end up liking this character?" That has worked well for me, as most of the people I find likable are adept at skills that compliment my pcs well.
