What exactly do you mean by "Utility"? XD

1. If you mean luggage, I think everyone is pretty equal but I prefer housecarls because they are sworn to carry your luggage. XD Lydia is the most popular luggage carrier.

2. Chance to glitch. Serana has a lot of glitches when you part with her during the Dawnguard quests, there's also this good bug though that allows you to hire another follower while Serana is still following you. Not sure if this counts but Lydia's path finding AI is just messed up for me. Majority of followers have that bug about the bows and arrows they use and since Aela the Huntress' main specialty is Archery, it makes her a big disappointment.

3. For personality. I'd choose Serana 1st then Cicero 2nd. Mjoll is sort of interesting but is too talkative for me. Everyone else seems pretty generic to me.

4. Faendal is the easiest to obtain IMO. Next is Lydia. Serana and Aela is involved in too many quests so it's pretty annoying when you really want them ASAP.

5. For a pure mage. Serana all the way, she doesn't die! Warrior, I'd say Mjoll because she doesn't die. Argis is pretty tough. Lydia is also great, I don't know why too many people dislike her. I didn't really try any of the spellswords...
