Is this your first run through the game? If so, I would advise against taking too many of the slower leveling up characters, as they tend to appeal to more advanced players. If you want one or two, go ahead, but having a party of drow can be tough (though if you want to you can look at my Drow/svirneblin party thread).
As far as clerics go, the best IMHO are the Lathanderites. They get good healing spells as well as multiple mass damage fire spells, so they can be a backup bomber. Other good cleric gods are Talos and Bane, and for a tank-cleric Tempus is useful.
I have never taken a straight ranger, but if you want one be sure to use light armor and give lots of STR and DEX. Use their useful dual wielding skills to your advantage.
For mages and sorcerers, none come close to the power of the drow (though an aasimir sorcerer is pretty darn close). Your call.
I would take a paladin, as they are very useful as warriors and get some goodies later in the game. Go with a human, aasimir, or drow for this guy.
If you want fighters, take a shield dwarf and make a fighter4/barbarian to make a powerful hitter with lots of hp and Rage. Hand him a greataxe and watch him go!
Deep gnomes aren't good fighters, but if you made him a monk he could become an uber-decoy, and also a formidable offensive force.
Okay, end rant. If you need anything else on your party, feel free to ask (though be warned, I'm a powergamer. If you are a roleplayer, ask Bozos of Bones or someone else)
