GROGNAK!
Got Strong as my back-up. Can't imagine using him with many other types of builds and play styles. Dude dislikes most normal things and only really likes, well, a barbaric style of play. Strong doesn't like crafting, lock-picking, hacking, doing exceedingly nice quests(he does like it when you help people though), and he likes being violent, murdering people who get in your way, stealing, and cannibalism amongst other things. He's also apparently voiced by the same guy who does Goku's english voice work.
Dude is tanky as hell and hits like a truck, just like Grognak. Swole Patrol is real.
Sidenote: Gronak's gear gives some juicy buffs to damage and endurance but I don't think you can upgrade them, but it's a fair trade. His axe has the most stagger of any weapon in the game IRC and does bleed but can't be modified, not like you'd need to. Basically I don't need much and can go balls out with all the crazy chems and food and sell pretty much everything I pick-up for money. I might up to survival for the sake of challenge later.
"Grognak" (honestly I was shocked that Codsworth actually has the name in his repertoire) feels waaaaay beefed than my first character, i've been face tanking and obliterating most things without having to cheese it out, whereas I remember being super squish on my alt. I even bodied the Swan on my first go with him.
