I'm more interested in the Companion Perks they offer, how they benefit the game.
Check http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Fallout:_New_Vegas_companions , select one of the companions and check the Perks they offer when grouped with.
The one from Rex (usable items are marked when zooming; i assume containers, doors, safes, corpes, random items like notes and other use/loot-related stuff), the ED-E one (better enemy spotting + target stealthers in V.A.T.S.), the one from Boone (Highlights targeted enemies, assuming in non-V.A.T.S.) and the one from Raul (slower equipment decay rate) all look rather nice.

I'd love to have Todd Howard in chains as an "accomplice".
Strictly so I can tie a grenade to him and launch him via human-catapult into a group of Super Mutants. Then I'd record the results and put them up on PPV.
We'll see how your hype-powers fare against that, Mr. Marketer!

Yup, no way am I picking the dog with the deteriorating brain...Cassita said:
Maybe Raul will know to stay out of the way.
*clicks the option for 'none of the above'*
Oh wait, no I didn't because there isn't one.
Seriously though, I don't bother with npc helpers. More trouble then they're worth.
Though if I did have to pick one it'd be the Ghoul. Just because Argyle sounded so hard in number 3.

None. The ghoul sounded most promising but he would only work if he would have a sombrero and Mexican poncho over his shoulders, dual wielding revolvers, and of course fake moustache glued to his skinless face.
Also seeing the screens Veronica looks terrible. Actually, they all look terrible. Seems like it's up for modding community to do the companions properly again. It's fascinating how bunch of people can do good looking stuff for free and 'professional' game developers can't be arsed despite being paid for it.

Well, usually I find companions in fallout games to be complete morons and just solo...buuut if the AI has improved, I'll go with lillian of course,
because the inherent nightkin abilities > some silly gunslinger...unless that gunslinger is the vault dweller, of course.

Well, they robo-dog is certainly tempting, but I prefer a companion with whom my character can develop a kind of buddy-cop relationship. And since ghouls are fucking awesome, I'm gonna say Raoul.
