It's a good idea to have your party members specialize in a wide range of areas, so you can have a good amount of synergy and adapt to different situations, but at the same time, don't try to cover too many areas with one character.
Other than that, we could argue which class would maximize the potential of the unique traits and abilities of each origian character, but worrying about all such details takes some of the fun away if you're new to the game. Just go with what you fancy, tbh.
Back then I had Sebille, Lohse, Fane, and Red Prince. Sebille was my assassin and Red Prince was my front line fighter, because to me those are the kinds of character they seem to be. As for Lohse and Fane, I just had them each specialize in two different magic schools. The only bit of metaknowledge I relied on was that I knew the water and lightning schools have good synergy.
