Default Advice with my party

I designed a party based around NPCs I haven't played with and party interaction. We are currently doing the unseeing eye quest, haven't done much more before (Circus Tent, Mencar, Sewers group, Slavers in the Copper Coronet, rushed to get Mazzy and Valygar without actually doing anything about the quests).

ME: CG Sorceror
Keldorn
Valygar
Anomen
Jan Jansen
Mazzy

However, I'm having some problems deciding which role each one is going to play. I typically like to have 3 melee and 3 ranged. I initially was going to have Anomen (tank), Keldorn (tank and mages) and Valygar (scout, mage backstabber, meleeing but not tanking) in the front while Mazzy fired away with a bow and the mages do their thing. However:

- I found out Mazzy is an amazing tank with a shield (can have her at -7 AC right now with my crappy equipment).
- Both Anomen and Keldorn would need bracers of Dex to properly tank.
- If I move Mazzy to the front, both Anomen and Keldorn suck at range afaik.

I thought about replacing Anomen with Aerie which would restore party balance while giving me some extra mage power and the option to romance her but I don't know if interaction would suffer.

BTW, I have installed the Item Randomiser mod so please don't suggest to get X or Y item to balance the party since I have absolutely no idea where to find the items (and it's great to feel that way again, though I would kill for those gauntlets of dex right now).
