Everyone will have opinions about what are the best weapons and what are the best combinations

Some of the advanced weapons seem to be left off of your list
Crom Faeyr +4 (especially good for dual weilding)
Foebane +5
Angurvadal +5
Dagger of the Star +5
Storm Star +5
Spectral Brand +5
Short Sword of the Mask +5

How powerful a weapon is also dependant on where in the game you are. remember in BG 1 that =1 long sword is like gold.

That said
Some of the better early game weapons:
Celestial Fury
Improved Mace of Disruption
Flame tongue
Daystar
Equalizer

As for your game plans:
Alto depends on if you want anyone to dual wield
Koran and Anomen do well on this

One of my favorite Anomen combinations is flail of ages +5 and Crom Faeyr in his off hand.
As a fighter Korgan and dual wield anything the rare a lot of nice long swords with special bonuses attached to them.

Mazzy probably shouldn’t be duel wielding. Her strength is with her bow. She can turn the Tuigan Bow into a machine gun or make use of Short Bow of Gesen for ammunition free work.

Early in the game I like having Jaheira use Blackblood and the shield of harmony.

Keldorn has skill in qrossbows already so set him up with Firetooth +5
