Depends how you want to start: Two or three good mercs can easily take the first towns, Omerta and Drassen, so sometimes I like to start with just the IMP and a one-day expensive bodyguard like Shadow. This works if you like to recruit locals because after taking Drassen you get two near-useless, but completely free, rebels on your team, and you might find Maddog and Hamous on location too. You also get a lot of kills for your IMP.
Otherwise you might want to start with cheap mercs, like M.D., Steroid, and Bull, who are effective for taking the first towns and holding them for a while, and can be trained up as well until you can afford to trade them in for the best AIM has to offer.
Or you might want average level but low-cost mercs like Grizzly, Fox, Spider, Blood, and Dr. Q. (of course you can't actually make this team because Grizzly's racist, but those are all examples of good soldiers) who will not cost too much to start with but who will benefit a lot from training and be usable througout the campaign.

Thanks for all the advice. I ended up going with:
IMP (similiar to shadow with some extras)
Fox (reasons above)
Wolf (my favourite from JA1)
Ice (had money left over and wanted some good Mark)

Most of the time I take Spider and Blood or Grunty. I used to like Buns, but I seem to have gravitated away from here lately. Igor is a good choice too. If I need to take a decent mid-cost merc I will take Thor, Nails, or Wolf usually.
Unlike most people, I actually like to use Ira (mostly medic and teacher), and Dimitri is another of my favorites (esp for grenading).
My playing philosophy changed with 1.13 though... I made a set of six IMP mercs for $18k and didn't hire anyone until after I took Drassen. Even after, I think I only hired Spider, Flo, and Gumpy (Spider for me, the other two for militia training). I have a LDR 85 IMP with Teaching, so she gets Flo and Gumpy's LDR up quickly.

This seems to be a dead thread but anyway:
I personally like to bring my IMP(with high LDR+MRK), MD as a medic and cheap militia trainer, Bull to break doors/necks, Blood for silent killing, and Grizzly and Hitman to have 3-members firing squad. Then, when I have Drassen, I recruit Steroid (because he's as strong as an ox, or bull, and he likes Grizzly), Razor (his personality rocks) and, if I want some funny comments, Haywire. He's of no use, but he's funny. And when(/if?) he dies, Razor gives pretty awesome comments. "Haywire! Get up you asshole! I have seen you get hurt worse that that and walk away! Ok, anything for a joke, that's you." or something like that.

Start with IMP, recruit Ira and manage your way to Estoni to get Maddog. Clean Drassen using Ira as killer. Recruit Dimitri. Now you have three almost useful and compleatly free mercs including lockpicker, halfmedic and throwing guy. If you take Maddog early he becomes kickass by the and of game.
