So if anyone has any ideas on an alignment and a small party with members that wouldnt clash with each other, could help a brother out.

All of those things are up to you. Your cleric's alignment as far as good/neutral/evil does influence which kit you can take (you don't lose any abilities, but which extra abilities you get from the kit are different for each of the kit). And the party members (other than those that just don't like each other) will stick with you unless your reputation goes too far in the opposite direction from them (good NPCs and a very low reputation, and visa versa). Of course, that part is just like BG1...
Personally, I would go with good or neutral to start with, with good being the easiest, then neutral, then evil. Evil has the deck stacked against them in the series (higher prices, guards popping up to attack, etc.). And as far as party competition, go with at least one of every main class (one tank, one cleric (you), one thief, and one mage). Personally, I would add some multi and dual classes to this. My first run through the game, I went with 3.5 tanks, 2 clerics, 0.5 thief, and 2.5 mage, though in BG1 an extra thief and one less mage doesn't hurt (thieving abilities are low at that point).
However, do whatever you want...it's your game. And don't be afraid to experiment.
