But if you really want a party of three, I suggest Fighter + Cleric + Wizard.
The Fighter could be substituted with a Paladin or possibly a Fighter/Paladin-multiclass for a bit of extra Divine spellpower. For a pure Fighter I suggest a Dwarf or Half-Orc, for Paladin or Fighter/Paladin an Aasimar is best. Also, take only four levels of Fighter for that combo, so you can get the Weapon Specialization. After that, Fighter-levels are practically useless.
For a Cleric, a Morninglord of Lathander or a Stormwhatsit of Talos are quite good in such a small party because they get more offensive spells than other types of Cleric. Otherwise, go with a Painbearer of Ilmater (for extra defensive spells) or a Silverstar of Selune (extra summoning spells). Again, Aasimar is good becuse of their bonus to Wisdom, but really any race will make acceptable Clerics.
For the last one, an Arcane caster, I choose Wizard over Sorceror because while the latter packs more firepower, the former is more versatile, and I have this feeling that versatility could be of great use in such a small party. Plus, Wizards get tons of Skill Points because of their high Intelligence, so you could easily spend some of those on skills like Disable Device (for disarming traps) and other Rogue-like skills, making a real Rogue obsolete.
Of course, this is my take on the matter, and others might make different choices for different reasons.
