From the one's I've actually used extensively, in order of preference-

>Good:
Mirri: Classic adventurer personality, nothing special. -Affinity for bug harvesting is really obnoxious, though it's only -1. Perk is extremely good; any chest, not just treasure chests, can give bonus loot. Is S-tier in combat. Can stun entire mob groups or is an extremely strong tank. Have used her to great effect in Nymics and Dungeon solos etc.
Sharp: Hard carried by personality and voice acting. Is completely fucking useless in combat no matter the build. Perk is amazing for Angler achievements.
Ember: Slightly quirk chungus, though not too offensive. Has a few amusing lines, but can't even hear what she's saying half the time because of accent+high pitch. Perk is meh unless you pickpocket 24/7. Is EASILY the best combat companion. Only good for DPS but her DPS output is better than most players.
Isobel: Is mostly fine but her naive, noble knight personality type gets a little grating. Has some of the best voice acting in the game because of Laura Bailey. Perk is completely fucking useless unless you're farming gear from Worldbosses, which is already easy. Is solid in combat as a tank or healer, but nothing special.

>Meh:
Azandar: Too lame. "That was intellectually stimulating!" after combat is mega-cringe. All he cares about is studying and research. It's just not intriguing, or amusing, or cool. Is dead-average in terms of combat, which for companions means is basically useless. On paper his perk looks S-tier, but it rarely if ever seems to actually proc.


Barely touched Bastian, Tanlorin or Zerith yet.
But I can already tell that Bastian is going to be similar to Isobel, and his and Tanlorin's perks fucking suck.
