In an Age of Worms Greyhawk game:
Mikel -- female Half-orc barbarian
Tel -- male human cleric of Heironous
Matthew -- male human paladin of St. Cuthbert
Alix -- female elven wizard (one fighter level)
Eren -- male human rogue (1 level swashbuckler)
We just hit third level, and I don't know what the others will take, but I think each will advance in their primary class. This party has some of everything, and I'm actually pretty pleased with it. We're much weaker at range, but it's not awful or anything.
For a four-person party I'd take the Iconic Four unless the campaign isn't dungeon- or trap-heavy (most of my games aren't), in which case a second fighter or cleric is good. I like at least one person to have track, which can be anyone with Survival, basically. For six person parties you want an extra spellcaster who can do some buffing, and maybe a second cleric. But I just let people play what they want. Nobody likes being forced to be the sidekick.
