Hey, good scenario. Thought-provoking.
Errm..
I think it's got to be the doctor. When they're hungry enough, they'll soon get over the dietary issues. The skill would be invaluable, plus the education a doctor has would give him useful knowledge of a whole range of other areas; biology, chemistry, etc. The wife, assuming she is able-bodies, will be a useful extra pair of hands.
I was tempted by the stockman (my wife is a nurse, so the doctor's skills are less critical for us than if this wasn't the case). However, I'd be concerned about the effect on group dynamics that bringing in a lone-wolf would have.
Family with children; two extra mouths to feed, so no.
Financial consultant and herbalist wife; tempting. Man can be trained. Importing skills is important, but having ready and willing manpower is also important.
My two cents..

Find a resilient place and way to live, then sit back and watch a momentous period in history unfold.
