Make sure you play a neutral or evil party. Hexxat has many conflicts with good companions like Keldorn, Mazzy, Valygar... but Minsc for example gets along quite well with Hexxat.
When you do her quests, choose your answers carefully in dialogues. Some may cause Hexxat to turn against you.

Not sure if you want spoilers or not so I will mark it as such just in case, but if you're playing blind and want to complete her questline in TOB, watch out because once you complete her questline, there will be an event (I'm not sure of the exact trigger) where if you pick the wrong dialog option, she will die permanently, and on top of that, she'll drop everything she was wearing/carrying on the ground, and you can't even pick it up because the game transitions you automatically to a new area afterwards - the equipment will be lost forever . I learned that the hard way, luckily I had a recent save to fall back on, but that specific event is terrible game design in my opinion.
Hexxat is an option for strict role-players enjoying evil alignment and related reputation penalties. Activity in daylight should not be a problem. Especially if you role-play a shady Bhaalspawn with/without similarly aligned companions, it can be fun to prefer being active at night time anyway, pursuing thievery and such. Perhaps even becoming a murder. Also, and that's spoiler-free, you must decide between two factions in the city of Athkatla becoming your primary ally. That decision results in a somewhat different path through the game.

She gets a special cloak that you can equip and remove like any other inventory item that protects her from the sunlight, albeit at massive ability penalties so it's better if you just use it for travel rather than adventure time.

You get a modified Bag of Holding that contains her coffin, do not remove her coffin, it weighs several tons and cannot be moved back to the Bag of Holding. If she dies, she reforms in her coffin. You keep the Bag whether you have her in the party or not so this alone is worth finishing her first Quest even if you have no intention of doing further quests.

Hexxat's quests are not "Evil" per say, not like Dorn's which will compel you to take part in Evil acts. I play a Paladin/Undead hunter and have played out all of her quest lines, including the final one indicated by Sharkman earlier. I sort of look at it as a "Good" end from a role playing standpoint. Her dropped inventory will be on the floor of your Pocket Plane if you are patient and let it play out.

Aeire, Keldorn & Anomen will not tolerate her in the party. Aerie once disbanded attacked and killed her outright. Keldorn and Anomen simply refuse once they know her true nature, I didn't find out if they disband and attack. Minsc, strangely, has no problem and neither do Jaheira nor Imoen. I usually re-form my party specifically to do her quests and then drop her when I'm done with them.

When you bring her along, expect some really nasty bugs. It'd be a good idea to make a few saves just in case, it could be a life-saving situation if something goes wrong. :GreenMagic:

Really? I guess I just didn't let it get that far so I never found that out, when I played that questline for the first time blind, as soon as the game teleported me out of the area where the event happened and back to a regular (non-Pocket Plane) area and nothing was on the ground, I just went WTF this is bulls#$% and reloaded the most recent save.

If she dies make sure to avoid resting in a cramped area since will respawn right atop PC making both unable to move.
Despite being undead can use healing potions and benefits from regular healing spells, and it is not turned by the party's cleric; on the other hand has some immunities (e.g. level drain, ability score drain except brain-eating by Mindflayers) but not the full package enjoyed by enemy vampires. Despite so is a powerful character, especially in SoA.
