You don't loose out on anything if you switch around your party for the various quests. For anyone playing their first playthrough I would not recommend using a full party of customized companions, though. But for secound, third etc. playthrough, you will know who to bring for what, and will not miss a single thing. You will just have far more fun, because you can add much more of your own RP to the game, which personally to me, is what playing a cRPG is all about.
