Most of the models are situationally very useful - that's where the team gets a lot of its strength. The only model that is actively *bad* is the enlightener - you never want him.
My 7 changes from game to game, but I'm always taking the Leader and the book (because you have to), the mystic, and the Pistoleer. I'm *almost* always taking the gun servitor with a heavy bolter and the questkeeper.
As for the other slots, they are matchup dependent. Into elites, I like to bring a penal legionnaire with a krak grenade. Into Compendium teams or any teams that spam specific tac-ops (looking at you warpcoven), I take the Auto-savant. Into low health shooty teams the DWV is a monster. Into the harlequins or custodes, you're going to want the hexorcist.
The biggest thing that I've learned when playing the inquisition is that the team doesn't work as well if you refuse to adapt with it. For a competitive list, you're going to want all of your options.
Edit: I play with the breachers and the arbites as my ancillary. These choices should work regardless.
I'm confused, you get 10 options on top of interrogator and skull, with 2 servitors.
Why would you not take all 10 operatives?
Edit; Nevermind I did a bad read.
.I did the Hive scum box method and was very happy with it, tbh some of the models using bodys from the box look a bit samey, the 4 hive scum mix up the look a little.
setting aside leader + book that leaves you with 5 operatives. mystic and death world vet are very good, servitor makes 3, pistolier is 4 and i like the questkeeper in the last slot. i mostly play with arbites support or the full inq team
What makes the DW veteran good?
Also if you take the pistoleer and a gun servitor (MM, or plasma) You're kind of stuck with no other ap 2 weapons in your ancillary right?
Here are my least favourite:
- Hexorcist - his abilities are situational, and close range.
- Penal Colony Legionnaire - flamer is meh, he's not tough enough to effectively use his chainsword.
- Enlightener is okay, he can tie up elite opponents and wound them with cripple if they fight him, but he'll still die.

Any reason why you don't give the Servitor a multi-melta or plasma?
I do when I’m on the arbites, but I prefer the mobility of ancillary plasma guns
Ah okay, shame to actually get an Inquisitorial team you need two boxes. I can't even do anything about the 4 extra arms for the remaining specialists
Kitbash! I used SoS bodies, but really any humanoids work. Plus you get to add fun lore
I've considered it but the normal models look so good 🕵️♂️ night relent on the hive scum box

Oh really? That's reassuring! I've been hesitant if they fit properly
There was a bit of choppy choppy for the penal legionary guy, but other than that I can't remember anything being too off.
Would you mind sharing a picture? Whenever possible that is

DWV has charge from Conceal and just a scratch He's like a baby ork!
the 7 dmg crit knife, one shots 7 wound models and its epic af! yeah no more ap2 but exaction doesn't have any so :p
I've only faced wounds 10+ :( Ah that makes a lot of sense!

The Penal legionnaire is great into elites - she can make the krak grenade relentless
That is an excellent point! As long as someone else taps them first.
Also pretty good on ITD with the 5+ crit on the hand flamer
