Assemble your Crew! Post your best starting stats!

These 3 guys are my favorite so far.  Or rather the random stat. 
I clicked the random button for at least 35 minutes 


What do you guys prefer for your starting crew?
I usually prefer 10+ learning, dupe plus another10+ learning dupe and 10+ strength dupe that way I can double up
the research stations and crush through the research tree in 10 cycles or less.

I don't usually spend 35 minutes  Put I look for Divers Lungs, Narco, Buff and then Strenth, Creativity, Learning, and Cooking.

I hit reshuffle until I get a team where one Dupe has a skill of at least +5 in either; Cook, Creativity or Learning. I avoid Dupes with a 10+ Decor demand.

I only go after strength. They can train other skills, or the skill becomes obsolete soon.

I prefer learning. I would really like to know the diminishing returns curve for leveling skills, but it seems that a high learning gives your dorfs dupes a durable advantage. Although min-maxing for learning can make the early game rough, it really pays off mid-game and beyond.

I'll take strength where I can get it, but the effects don't seem dramatic enough to make it a required stat. Isn't each point of strength something like 10% carrying capacity? I'll take high athletics over high strength any day, and since athletics can be trained, learning == athletics.

Despite the text saying so Learning only effects the speed of your research.  It doesn't help w. getting new skills higher.

I usually choose at least one dupe with 4 creativity or better.  Aside from that, strength is my only other priority.  In my opinion, learning isn't that important because you can complete all research before cycle 25 with a dupe that started with 0 learning.  It would be more useful if completing the entire research tree was more time consuming.

Ouch. Good to know.
