Danny would be my pick. He has great health and agility. He's a fantastic learner. All around the best doctor money can buy.

Danny isn't underrated in my book, but I think you're right that he doesn't get nearly the recognition he deserves. When I've used him (hiring him from the beginning), he almost makes the game too easy after awhile, and he hogs most of the kills so the other mercs don't get much experience.
How about Red? It seems like nobody ever talks about him. He's cheap, and he starts at level 4 with pretty good marksmanship. With both explosives and electronics skill, he can disarm any trap. He makes a good mechanic with a little practice, and he's a good militia trainer. You wouldn't want him for your point man, but he's very useful for what he costs.
I think Bubba is also very much underrated - probably because people think he is annoying. He is also very inexpensive and starts at level 4 with good marksmanship. He is extremely strong, so he is good for carrying mortars and other heavy things; and he's a decent mechanic. His low wisdom doesn't seem to have much effect on learning from combat experience; I think it's more of an issue with other kinds of training.

I'll have to vote Igor,for most underrated: good-great mrk,wisdom,great physical stats.
I don't use Proedit.But I must agree it's better to use it than punch cows, throw knifes at crows,use knife on the robot-waisted time.
Grunty is more useful though,he brings decent equipment,and night ops and heavy weapons,plus the fact he has the same colour as the rebels,make him a great hire.
Bubba,Buzz or "1-day Steroid-leaves tool kit and lockpicking kit" never make it in my teams.

I have to disagree.And not thinking only about Vince,who beats him (+ teaching ability,has explosives,mrk reaching 80 fast in the versions allowing knife throwing at crows,but very low AGI).
Dr.Q proved to be the fastest learner in my games,mainly because he has a trainable(with mines) explosives skill.Two levels of experience that can be gained this way more than compensate for the slightly lower health and agility(still over 85),don't you think?Plus he's also the only one amongst the doctors,I think,who beats cows-if you're into that kind of training,that is.
