There are a fair number of traps, and some are very annoying. I would definitely not go thiefless first time through. I wouldn't even dual - unless you dual very early you'll want a thief by the time you reach level 3-4 (with a full party). Just like BG, the F/T is a nice combination.

A mage and a bard is all I would suggest for arcane spell casters for a first try. There aren't a ton of scrolls, so it's a little tricky to get all spells on two mages, and two mages and a bard will present tough decisions.

Druids are nice (great spells) but turn undead is very handy too. So not an obvious choice between a cleric and a druid.
