Fighters get a *lot* of feats. You won't have to worry that your sniper fighter will fall behind in melee.

Although if you plan on doing a lot of summon spells, you may want a second mage rather than a third fighter. I like sorcerers myself as they don't have to memorize spells beforehand, and they can cast more spells per level than a wizard. Main drawback is far fewer spells to learn. However, you always get your choice at level up time, so no worries about missing a particular spell because you couldn't find the scroll. And sorcerers can cast spells from scrolls, so you could have a few of those for extra spells.

Playing at insane difficulty doesn't do much for you, alas; it just makes the monsters tougher. You get no extra experience, and the items are pretty much the same as in the lower difficulties. Just so you know.

P.S. I always take Elves (Moon or Wild) for my mages. They come with longbow skill, which is handy when they aren't casting spells.
