If you're planning on going evil, you can get a follower fairly quick after starting the game. Jericho is easy to get if you cause a little mayhem outside of Megaton. Just kill a few wanderers and traders, steal from some cap stashes. You need to be pretty evil and have a 1000 on hand, but his default weapon is an assault rifle and you can give him better armor. Now sure if he can wear power armor. Charon, Clover, and the Brotherhood bitch all can. Clover is a little easier to obtain if you don't mind blowing up Megaton
If you're good, your best bet is probably Charon. Just follow the main quest line, but when you hit the Mall, go to the Museum of Natural History.
Why have a follower?
1 - Equipment mule.
2 - Bullet sponge.
3 - Occasionally shoot your enemies.
They'll use any weapon you give them as long as they have ammo. Never give them the Flamer though, unless you like being accidentally lit on fire all the time.
