I am using two fighters and on ranger/fighter.
The first fighter is defensive: Dwarf fighter, maxed out in Cons, good strength and 13 Int. He has expertise and all the defensive feats, toughness and the best armor with rings of protection and other strength enhancing and defensive items (like the immunity to fear necklace).
The second fighter is offensive: Halforc, maxed out strength, decent Dex and Con, with Cleave, power blow, all of the offensive and as many defensives as he could get, especially to boost Will (same as above).
The ranger/Fighter is: Maxed on Dex and specialized as a shooter.
I try to use them as follows: use the dwarf on full defense as bait and while things are focussing on him, the halforc tears into them with a greataxe. The shooter goes after spell casters (as do the rear line people) and defends the rear echelon in a pinch with sword and shield. This works well, but breaks down sometimes in the big battles, when the bad guys flow around the frontline fighters due to numbers.
