While I am not Athenian, I will offer my 2 cents in regards to the recruitable Mercs.
Rhea: I started to train Rhea, but then I felt I could do fine without her so I dropped her. I can't really comment other than that about her.
Hel: I may go back and recruit Hel just see how she does. As I have read that critical hit archers are all pretty strong I would like to see if this holds true with Hel as well. I have too many heroes and not enough slots so not sure if or when I might do this.
Heimdall: I have Heimdall recruited and trained but have not used him much yet. I single washed him for valor but might go back and dual wash him later. Right now I plan to use him in PvE for the monster mech battles. For PvP the only possible use I can see would be to counter a setup using Thrud, however he will be taking some pretty good damage prior to getting his counterattack up.
Sult: I haven't been able to recruit Sult yet, but I think Sult is excellent for reaching the back lines and hidden mages. Dual wash for Valor and Spirit to achieve maximum damage.
Edjo: I recruited Edjo since I have been unable to pick up Sult. I am hoping to use him in both PvP and PvE. Dual washing him with Valor and Spirit. For PvP I am hoping his stun can help to prevent enemy morale buffs or prevent a round of damage. He is pretty weak to mages though. For PvE similar plan to stun main damage dealer or stun buglers/dancers/healers.
Mist: I don't plan to recruit Mist right now simply because I don't have any books at the moment. However shortly I will get red book from Valkyries Rage and perhaps I could make use of Mist with that book. But I think since I already have chosen too many heroes I probably won't use her.
Thrud: I am planning to recruit Thrud for both PvP and PvE. I think Thruds heavy early damage can be used effectively in PvP. And in the maps I plan to use Thrud to reach some of the hidden mages. I will dual wash Thrud with Valor for obvious reasons and Spirit to give him a little better BM resistance.
Skuld: I will recruit Skuld for both PvE and PvP and dual wash Valor and Spirit. Hope to use Skuld to get early big hits in all battles. I think early big hits are key to winning many battles.
Isis: I haven't read much information about Isis, so can't really comment about this hero.
Nut: I haven't read much information about Nut either, so I can't really make any comments here. I think perhaps based on the description of chariot that Nut might be used as a tank.
Anubis: I will recruit Anubis and dual wash Valor and Spirit. I think Anubis will be very helpful in PvE to one hit mages and mechs. For PvP I think a well placed Anubis will help to win some battles that may appear lost early on.
I have obviously selected more heroes than I have slots, but I figure that as I move thru the maps new heroes will replace old ones. Only time will tell how my plans evolve.
Rhea: I started to train Rhea, but then I felt I could do fine without her so I dropped her. I can't really comment other than that about her.
