If your concern is roleplay, I suppose that it depends on if you want to just be evil or if you want to be psychotic. Evil in BG is mostly about acquiring power, becoming the proper heir to Bhall, etc. It can be thought of as problematic in that respect to just kill everyone and not be able to interact with anyone who can be used to help in your ascendency. And heck, you can still backstab Anomen to death without a loss of reputation.

From a game perspective, being evil shouldn't rule out too many quests since it can be reasoned that you're doing a lot of things for loot or revenge rather than good intentions. Party issues shouldn't be too problematic except the ranger class problem. The standard evil NPCs are all excellent though. And if you get the Valen mod, well, you get a lot of fun and won't really need much of a party anyway.
