Oftern overlooked I think is the fact that Minsc is the only NPC in BG1 that can truely dual wield fully effectively. He's certanly the most adaptable fighter in terms of style. You can either go with Two Handed Swords and Longbows for Spiderbane & Composite Longbow +1 or put pips into Maces and Two Weapon Style with the Stupifier & Mace +2 for clearly the most effective offensive melee NPC in the game.

If you can spare the Tomes, giving him the Tomes of Constitution, Dex & Strength make his a total powerhouse and let him use Legacy of the Masters. Typically if I have him dual wield I do that. If I give him Spiderbane & a Longow then I give him the Bracers of Dex and save the Tome for soemoene else (or my PC).

Having him paried with Dynaheir using web is practically game breaking. If he has Spiderbane and a Longbow and she is loaded up with Webs, you can pretty much take the whole game with just those two characters.
