Which early game NPC is the better pack mule? - Domino Piece Lot

In general when I play RPGs I tend to be a bit of a kleptomaniac and a bit of a pack rat. So, of course Fallout 4's crafting system that leaves nothing to waste is enabling this behavior even further.

I have discovered that Dogmeat can carry a bunch of my junk, allowing me to range further and for longer, but is he the best choice? Can Codsworth or Preston carry more? I can find no number in the game enumerating their actual carry limit before it gets reached.
