Ah, ok. Edgar sounds good; his tools are useful till near the endgame, at which point he can do just fine on magic and equipment. Shadow's also possible, if you have high-damaging gear to throw, plus Interceptor's random appearances are never bad. Can't remember how that works after Interceptor dies, though... Although I often take Shadow just cause I always liked him. Edgar's probably the best, statwise. Although Magicite makes a mess out of that, so you can pretty much do whatever you want.
