I didn't touch the followers until late Hell/Inferno. Prior to that point they were just too frustrating to be worthwhile. Any bonuses they offered weren't worth watching a treasure goblin get away. Now that I am in Inferno I've got bigger issues to worry about than a missed treasure goblin so Followers it is!
Out of all of them the strongest one I've found is the Enchantress. I originally specced her for the 10 second knockback, but after too many instances of her actually helping the beastly Inferno champs by pushing them to me while I was kiting that skill had to go.
I've never found a decent use for the Scoundrel where I wouldn't just flat-out rather have had the Enchantress.
The Templar is decent. I don't think his skillset is anywhere near as good as the Enchantress but he does have the benefit of being able to have one more item slot that can be filled with MF if that is your thing.
