I agree that the cheap high wisdom mercs are some of the best to take through the entire game. The bottom row of AIM is really all you need to start. The only one I absolutely MUST have though is Igor.

Igor (night ops & stealth, levels quickly, cheap as hell...possibly the best merc in the entire game if you take him from start to end)
Grunty (as above with Igor, but not *quite* as cool and he trades stealth for HW, only slightly more expensive, he complements Igor in a team).
Barry (cheap, high explosives, high wisdom, levels quickly, lockpicking, can be a good mech once you train him up)
Fox (an ambi field medic who can actually shoot worth a crap, plus her personality is legendary around these parts, and she's a cheap date).

Later on down the road I'll almost always get Wolf, Lynx, and Ivan (in that order, from least to most expensive). From MERC I'll go with Biff and Flo so I can sell weapons in San Mona, and give money to Speck so he can hire more people). I've never tried Blood. I might give him a whirl. Magic and Shadow are overpriced and not necessary if you play the game right and level your people.

BTW, was anybody else pretty disappointed with Hitman? The official JA2 manual says he's a good starting merc, but I wasn't really impressed (especially his low Dexterity which makes his throwing skill less than stellar). I suppose his best asset is that he's optimistic and can contribute to morale.

I find the game more rewarding by not going with an IMP.
