WRT formation: with your party, I'd go 3x3--the 3 melee guys in front, the 3 casters in the middle.

I'd put the fighters and the rogues in front, and priest and bishop in the flanks.
The rogue is a fighting machine in Wiz8. It is second only to the fighter. So he must be in the front. He has less AC from armor, and less hit points, but when he builds up his stealth skill, most monsters will attack the fighters instead of him.
The mage is most vulnerable, so i'd protect him from attacks from the side. Both priest and bishop can use quite some armor, and a shield. I usually give them a whip, so they (especially the priest) can strike when they don't want to cast a spell, and late in the game there are two whip-type weapons.
