Since Jaheira and Yoshimo are both of True Neutral alignment, and you plan on romancing Viconia, this is a toss-up. Would you rather have a true thief with trapping abilities for the big battles, or a backup fighter with some really good druidic spells (insect plague, iron skins, harper's call...)? I think you can still get the Harper Pin if not in a romance, but I'm not 100% sure about that.
I would go with the following party, based on your evil alignment.
1)Korgan (CE - main tank)
2)You (NE - fast attack second tank)
3)Jaheira (TN - emergency tank, backup cleric)
4)Viconia (NE - main cleric)
5)Edwin (LE - main mage... and plenty at that!)
6)Jan (CN - main thief, backup mage)
The way I see it is you now have plenty of punch up front, lots of clerical ability, lots of spellcasting, and Jan is more than enough thief. The problem with Yoshimo is losing him, and all the experience he's gained. Don't forget Jan will have the ability to level up lots in Throne of Bhaal, and he's funny as hell to boot!
Just make sure to keep your reputation at 6 or above (below 6 is when Jaheira and Jan will start whining about balance, etc.) and no higher than 15 (that's when your evil characters will start whining heavily). Items will cost a bit more, but you'll be plenty rich anyway.
You can kill Drizzt if you want (in fact, it's logical since he's good and you're bad...) but remember if you keep his items someone will chase you around for them until you give them up. Can be a bit annoying.
Hope this helps,

Yeah
I gonna take Jaheira with me, because for her spells and her overall power,her many side quests,and her dialogues, and because she is a friend from bg1.in TOB she will be replaced with Sarevok,but then i will not have a druid(so i can't see the high level abilities).Sarevok will be cool enough to compensate that.
I gonna take Jan with me till spellhold, i find him a cool npc, he looks cool,his thieving skills are great, but Imoen is your sister and she is cursed, although she is good-aligned,she must be taken with,for the story(you can't leave your sick sister behind).It's a pity, cause Jan really fits in my group.
It's the first time i play evil, and i must admit that there is a lot of diffirence in the game.It feeled bad the first time i killed a civilian(a merchant named Jayes in waukeens promenade).After i stoled 8 times from him, he catched me, so i had to.But i am getting used at being evil.And i am looking forward to kill Adalon,Drizzt,...
Another tough desicion i had to make was this
roficiences for Korgan.1)Could dual wield frostreaver and stonefire.2)But i gonna play sword and shield-style and at the end with crom Faeyr.(first with frostreaver)
