I do disagree with the brackets. Monks don't fit in with "holy rollers". You would have been closer to place paladins with clerics and druids, and monks with fighters and barbarians as basically another fighting class focused on martial arts.

I think better sets would be...

Heavy combat: Barbarian, Fighter, Paladin
Skirmish combat: Monk, Ranger, Rogue
Hybrid/Support Caster: Bard, Cleric, Druid
Offensive Caster: Sorcerer, Warlock, Wizard

Each class varies within groupings but those are more consistent groupings, imo.

Two brackets were easy (fighting man, magic user), and we are in total agreement.

That makes the other two brackets centered around the other two of the core four- cleric and rogue. From there, we both agree that of the remaining classes, Ranger has to go into the Rogue's bracket, and Druid has to go into the Cleric's bracket.

If we differ only on the placement of the Bard/Monk, then I did okay, IMO. We can reasonably disagree on that.

I disagree on monk because they have no association with religious or divine ability in D&D, unlike a paladin. Based on your groups monk and paladin should be swapped. The potpourri group works because rogues, bards, and rangers each gain skill / ability check abilities grouped that way. I don't use it because of how each plays in general, particularly combat.

Apart from how I group them, your grouping paladin outside holy classes and maintaining monk within holy classes doesn't make sense, which was my main point.
