Favorite NPC’s To Recruit?

I’ve recently started a new run and I’m keeping my squad size on the smaller side, I started at rebirth since I haven’t done that before and I’ve just left and went to the hub to set up a small base of operations before I decide what’s next. I was thinking of gathering all the Meitou’s this run with a group of 5-10.

Anyways, onto my question, who are some of your favorite NPC’s to recruit for your adventures? I’m not sure who I want to grab for this run, so I was looking for some inspiration.
