The way you have it set up you will have to reposition all the time so everyone can reach the enemy, which can be a pain.

That brings up a good point, which is formation, and that makes a big difference in weapon choice. I actually usually do the front empty myself, with 3 center, 1 on each flank, and 1 rear, which allows 5 characters to engage in close-combat melee with enemies in front. That's usually not too bad on the repositioning, and in this party the Valkyrie with a spear/polearm would make the natural 6th member for the rear. I've also heard of people putting 3 center and 3 on one flank, which supposedly allows everyone to attack in close combat without much repositioning, but never tried it myself.
