I think you gotta keep Nalia. After the keep quest, she doesn't complain as much. However, I am just finishing up all the quests in Chapter 2 that I can do and most of my characters are around level 12.
Here's the party I currently have, I play multi-player (with myself). Created 4, have 2 NPC's.
1) Arianna - Human - Kensai (having the keep is an awesome stronghold. I store all my junk there, just in case I need it later)
2) Minsc(NPC) - (best character of the game - "Boo! Go for the eyes!!! Squeeeeek!")
3) Mo'Agnar - Half-orc - Figher/Cleric. This guys kicks arsss with 19Str/19Con. Dual-wield with Flail of the Ages and the Icewind Dale Flail you can buy. Eventually Dual wield Flail and Crom F. warhammer. Major Tank!
4) Sage - Half-Elf - Skald(Bard). I love this character. Lore all over, uses bows, can cast magic, and with the Elven Chain +3, has the lowest AC of any of my characters right now with Stoneskin and Spiritial armor to boot.
5) Nia - Human - Swashbuckler 10th lv/Dualled to Mage. My best mage and can use crossbow/shortbow and longsword and has good thief skills.
6) Nalia(NPC) - Good backup thief to my main one, excellent Mage. I stick with her mainly, but roll in other NPC's for short periods for specific quests like the Druid's grove or a couple of Jaheria's quests (gotta get that Ring of Wizardry!)
All in all, Nalia has worked great for me. I highly recommend the Half-Orc Fighter/Cleric combo, very cool.
