A good party in my opinion would be:
Cleric with high wis,str,con (main tank and healer. Add 1 level of fighter/barb/Paladin or ranger if not using another full-time tank)
Druid with high wis,str,con (Backup tank, backup healer and backup nuker. Add 1 level of fighter/barb/Paladin or ranger if not using another full-time tank)
Sorc (nuker)
rogue1-2/wiz (backup nuker, rogue)
1 char of your own choice (a good one would be a high-AC-decoy)
1 more char of your choice.
The first 4 chars will both take care of everything important and give you every possible spell. As all 4 are almost straight casters they will have a large amount of spells, making the hard battles "easier" than some easy ones. At least for me that tend to not use spells on easy enemies. In "difficult" fights all my 6 chars starts bombarding, making the fight end in a couple of rounds.
With this party you get to try different casting classes.
