Hmm i'd have to say:

With mods: Miraak, my biggest reasons for saying he's the best with mods is because he has an awesome story, can shout, and he has some perks too. (i havent even got him yet but i'm expecting big things).

Without mods: Frea would probably be the best warrior follower, Jzargo would be the best mage follower (serana takes a backseat due to her capping at lvl 50 and she will weaken you if you are a VL), and Durak would be the best ranger/archer follower (no lvl cap and i think he uses crossbows). Durak and Jzargo might be better at range then frea (i don't know if she will use bows or not), but Frea would be better in close quarters (especially if you are a warrior yourself). Frea might be annoying if you are a mage since she would keep you from using aoe spells. I think that the best follower is the one that works best for you. Personnaly i usually go on my own but once i get Miraak i'll be dragging him around for a while.
