Wich companion do you use and why?

[-Armageddon-]

So far i used dogmeat but i got bored and want a companion that is chatty and fun but also strong, now here is the list and the perks they give:

Paladin Danse Know Your Enemy Special Perk – An extra 20% damage when fighting Synths, Super Mutants and Ferals

Codsworth Robot Sympathy Special Perk – Additional damage resistance, +10%, when fighting against energy weapons

Curie Combat Medic Special Perk – Automatically heal 100 health points if health falls below 10%. Has a long cooldown

Piper Gift of Gab Special Perk – Speech challenges and new location discovery reward experience points increased by 100%

Nick Valentine Close to Metal Special Perk – An extra chance when hacking a terminal and 50% cooldown

Cait Trigger Rush Special Perk – When health drops below 25% action points regenerate at a quicker pace

Deacon Cloak & Dagger Special Perk – Stealth boys duration increased by 40% and an additional 20% damage to sneak attacks

John Hancock Isodoped Special Perk – Critical comes 20% quicker when impacted by 250 rads or more

MacCready Killshot Special Perk – V.A.T.S Headshots increased damage by 20% extra

X6-88 Shield Harmonics Special Perk – Additional damage resistance, +20%, against energy weapons

Strong Berserk Special Perk – An increase in melee weapon damage of 20% when health falls below 25%

Preston Garvey United We Stand Special Perk – +20% to damage and damage resistance when in combat with 3 or more opponents

Now from this list it seems that Paladin Danse seems to be the most useful since you always need that 20% dmg vs super mutants.

Codsworth, he stays out of the way.

Dog, because I barely ever used Dogmeat in F3 and Rex in F:NV

I give him welding goggles and a bandana.

He also keeps enemies still so I can shoot them.

Also, no "I GOT YOU NOW!" repeated dialogue from companions when in combat.

Idk, maybe I'll use the other companions eventually, but Dog has been 10x more useful to me than the previous dog companions.

Plus, I'm hoping to find Sparky again and try and get her to be a perma companion somehow (Lost her due to needing to reload a save q_q)

I want to use garvey, but I cant because he doesnt move at all.

[Gilferedir]

I went lone wanderer for now. Maybe later when I have spare points I'll put a bit into companions.

Only 2 females out of 13 companions,
well what do we see here.

How about Paladin Danse, anyone uses him and how does he preform in gun fights? Like i said i started using piper but she misses a lot of shots.

[Mr. Do Everything]

I use Nick when I dont use Danse. Spoilers as reasons. But Danse is so powerful and has such high resists he is the most useful in my opinion, and Nick hacks terminals for me.

[Pattisaurusrex]

Dogmeat.

Because: Puppy.
