What type of Companion is your favourite?

Is it the...
"Good at combat" type
The "Kinda sucks at combat but provides a support skill or other out-of-combat bonus" type
The "Kinda sucks at combat but provides an in-combat bonus of some sort" type
Or the "A little of everything" type?

    I actually prefer when companions aren't personally great at fighting, they can have times to shine, but in general I'm the hero who does the badass fighting and i'd rather them give some sort of bonus or be fun to be around such as a drunk who tosses low damage empty bottles or a cute baby deathclaw, or someone super gay like Arcade or Veronica.

    My companions, no matter what game I'm playing, need to fulfill three functions.
    1. Be eye candy. If they're hideous, male or female, I'll not use them.
    2. Be a pack mule. I HATE having to run to a vendor every five minutes. I also have a tendency to strip the place I'm in right down to the bone. So my companion needs to carry a lot of stuff.
    3. Be a tank. It's ok if they don't do a ton of damage, so long as they hold the mob's attention so I can do the killing thing.
    Voice acting, super duper ai, all that is cool, but after a while it gets repetitive AF, so it's not as important to me as to some people. I just like easy to use, reliable and fulfilling the top three requirements.
