SCS Party composition help!

Hello and a good day to you from a long-time lurker (finally member) 
I am having trouble deciding my party composition, or better, the classes of most of them ^^
Fig/Ill Gnome as my imported Bhaalspawn-Beauty Aressa and Rasaad will not be altered.
I will play with SCS+RogueRebalancing and some other mods that shouldn't matter here much (I dunno for sure though, but I also don't know which mods it actually will be - still time )
As Level1NPC still seems to not work with EE I will use EEKeeper instead
Imoen: Jesteror Skald (for awesome 'Remove Magic') or Sorcerer?
Mazzy: Fighter/Cleric (multi) or pure Cleric (beloved 'Turn Undead') (which kit?)
Nalia: Thief->Mage, but which thief kit? Swashbuckler, Shadowdancer or basic Thief?
Last place will rotate between quest-relevant, banter and useful NPCs until TOB
Sarevok: Am actually at a loss here... Don't want plain Fighter, so something like Blackguard or Berserker... But I don't even know, between Aressa, Rasaad (and maybe Mazzy) if I would even need another warrior for SCS or maybe should even avoid it... And on the other hand, he is THE Warrior class, so turning him into a Mage/Cleric or Sorcerer just doesn't fit that well (flavour is of much importance to me here ^^ )
I want to change things up in terms of gameplay, want to use my favorite NPCs (that I actually never used ALL together), and don't want to suffer from past trauma by once again utterly failing SCS
Last time I couldn't even get the Thief Stronghold before rage-quitting xD
Any suggestions for my team (be it of the above or new ones) will much appreciated
PS.: Sorry for long first post... wouldn't know how to make a TL;DR out of it, otherwise I would do

To sum everything up:
- at least two debuffers and one cleanmaster are needed
- +APR weapons are great
- thieves and clerics are not (to which I disagree)
- better to play big parties and rest often
My personal favorite party for SCS was:
1. fighter/cleanmaster - inquisitor - PC (swaped for Keldorn or Mazzy via Cntr+K)
2. dps/debuffer - ken/m - Viconia
3. dps/debuffer - ken/m - Haer Dalis
4. dps/backstabber - f/m/t - Jan Jansen
5. dps/healer - ber/clr - Korgan
6. Edwin (just for his banters)
In order to survive in SCS environment you might want to powerplay your favorite NPC: give to Imoen, say, Viconia's MR and to Nalia - Edwin's amulet.
I will see whether your mod strikes my fancy, doc
aaand I am posting in the other thread soon
