1. Sain
2. Kent
3. Lowen
4. Marcus
5. Isadora
(Reason why is because I like mounted units specifically, Paladins of all on the list of classes as well as character-wise)
6. Priscilla(same reason why I like Paladins as well as great healer that she can turn out to be over Serra)
7. Harken(love his character, very useful on HHM(especially in the normal games) over Karel which he lacks as a NPC on HHM, great parring with Isadora. IsadoraxHarken)
8. Fiora(The only flier I like pretty much. I don't really like Florina because shes quite fragile in the early part. Plus, she does fair about of damage to enemies as well. And I don't like Farina, because she comes half-way part of the game on any Hector's Mode and the worst part is you have to pay her 20, 000 Golds in order for her to be recruitable. Not worth it if you ask me...)
9. Oswin(Great tank unit to start off with. Good for guarding Merlinus tent in the early game. Great EXP thriller and best of all; best General in this game)
10. Geitz(great Warrior with or without the HM bonus. Quite fit in Harken and Karel's situation over Wallace. I despise Wallace, saves you the trouble for promoting Bartre and Dorcas which don't really turn out that good in the early part of the game)
