Best Triple-Alignment, Triple-Party, Triple-Playthrough

  This does all look good, very nice for role play purposes in particular, if you want some suggestions though, heres what I might say:
  
  Good party:
  Your charname could be better as a thief/mage multi rather than fighter, as parties in both BG 1 and 2 are quite fighter heavy, but all your thieves are dual classed, meaning little in the way of traps and less efficient pickpocketing. Perhaps in BG2 you could be a little lenient and take Jan (despite being neutral).
  
  Neutral party:
  In BG2 if you do dual to a cleric you may be better with Mazzy as you may have an excess of divine magic with Jaheira having druid spells, Charname can then be a good tank whilst Mazzy fills the enemies with arrows. If you decided not to dual to cleric, you could take Jaheira for the opposite reasons. Just for laughs you could even make Anomen fail his knighthood so that he becomes chaotic neutral.
  
  Evil party:
  Just my opinion, but Xzar is a much more fun mage in BG1 than Edwin just cause of his insane personality (perhaps you need the higher power of Edwin though or prefer his personality).
  
  Ironically, you may find that a lot of the interesting banter stems from characters with different alignments. For example, I believe Alora/Edwin and Quayle/Tiax have banter in BG1.

  I'd swap Aerie and Anomen in the Good and Neutral parties, though you won't end up with the Aerie/Haer'dalis banters. Aerie/Minsc and Aerie/Keldorn interactions are particularly nice, IMO. Also, for Neutral... Maybe Valygar or Cernd instead of Mazzy or Jaheira? Mazzy's either the most Good NPC in BG2 or second to Aerie (again, IMO), and Jaheira's pretty darn close to NG, Druid restrictions notwithstanding.

  For the Evil party consider Baeloth. It's fun running around with two drow and a blackguard.

  With Bg1 monks are practically worthless, it isn’t until Bg2 that monks get the ability to do anything what so ever. As such, for your good party I’d recommend removing Rasaad for Jaheira for some more spells on your team. But, I mean, Minsc, Dynaheir, almost anyone would be more helpful than Rasaad in Bg1.
  Other than that your parties are fine. (Quick correction, Xan is an Enchanter, not an Illusionist. So no Magic Missile, Web, or any great spells.)
  My only other piece of advice is that I’d maybe want Jaheira in your good Bg2 party instead of either Valygar or Rasaad. Insect Plague is just the greatest spell ever made, and Jaheira is pretty much the most powerful npc in Bge (In my humble opinion).
  Also, if you get the Tome of Intelligence in Bg1 you could give it to Safana instead of yourself and make Safana a Thief Mage.
