Most people take the diverse route, I took another route with characters then everyone else. I went 4 Beserkers (Invul Ragers), 1 Cleric and 1 Druid or Bard. The group feats are very powerful but only if you can take advantage of them. Having a diverse party means you can't take advantage of multiple Outflanks, Precise Strikes etc, you need multiple melee's or multiple Range guys, not a mixture of both. If you go with a diverse party group feats should be ignored.
Their are only two Storyline characters that are built worth a damn, Ekun the Ranger and Nok Nok the Rogue. Both those guys are very well built and quite powerful but you don't get them until later chapters. I wouldn't even bother creating a Ranger unless that is your main character since Ekun will be better, the same goes for the Rogue, Nok Nok will have better stats than anything you can build to catch him.
Finally, Skelas, I would build my Story line guys to fit the Kingdom roles better more so then to fit a party role. That will make it easier to run a Kingdom.
i.e., Valerie the Tank, she isn't well built for a tank/fighter to begin with so I would suggest you just work on her Charisma. She runs an office for you that requires high Charisma not Str and Con. That isn't intuitive until you find out she sucks at her job since she has no Charisma, why? She is a Fighter for gods sake.
Like Slamz said, you build a Merc group for your party and you always run around with at least one Story Line guy. Who that is will be determined by your quest and need. You should never have yourself and 5 mercs. You just need 5 Mercs built so you can swap out who you run with on the story line side of things.
