I like creating a party with just a male and female character (Berserker and Sorceror currently) and semi-soloing through with just the two of them as if they were a married couple. Then I include NPCs just long enough to do their quests. This can get troublesome for some characters that have long-term quests like Jaheira, or for Aerie & Haer'Dalis who take awhile to get their romance rolling.

The advantage is you get loads of experience fairly quickly because you are dividing by 2-4 rather than 6. But you don't have the problem with soloing that some of the coolest items are unusable. Also, you get to experience most of the personalities in the game. (I blew it this time by putting off Edwin's quest until my rep was too high and he didn't want to join my party.)
