For a main follower try this guy for a few levels...
Check out his list of perks!! He's an animal! I gave him a pair of unenchanted blades swords and he one-shot everything...
Probably the strongest follower in the game. Expensive to get though, he has a 'double damage' perk so he's essentially in 'Berserker Mode' all the time.
He doesn't specialise in heavy armor though and it does actually make a big difference if you don't give a follower armor they are skilled in.
