You'll want 3 or 4 Warriors, 2 Priests, 1 Thief and 2 Wizards. Since that makes a total of 9 party members, you're going to want some Dual- or Multi-classed characters who can do double duty.
Jan and Imoen make capable Thieves. Nalia does not.
Jaheira and Anomen make capable Warriors. Viconia does not.
Be careful with your Wizards: Know the distinction between "primary Mage" and "backup Mage." You're going to want to have access to the best Wizard spells (like Breach, Mordenkainen's Sword and Time Stop) as soon as you possibly can, which means somebody like Edwin or Nalia. Using a backup Wizard like Aerie, Haer'Dalis or Jan to fill this role can be done, but nowhere near as efficiently.

Sorry, Dundee, but Tim is an Enchanter.

I would build an all-trueclassed Warrior party as:
Berserker
Barbarian
Archer
Inquisitor
Monk
Kensai
But it'd be better off with a Swashbuckler in place of the Monk or Kensai.
