I usually pick the female companions.
My group in DA:O was Wynne, Morrigan, and Leliana. My group in DA II was Isabela, Aveline, and Merrill. My group in ME was Liara and Tali. My group in ME 2 was Miranda and Tali/Samara. My group in ME 3 was Liara and Tali.
Funny thing? I don't especially care for Tali. I find her one of the more boring characters in a BioWare game. But she's female and she has the Engineer class.

I usually do the complete opposite, surrounding my female PC with the men-folk. Male companions...

Man-servants! 
I do usually take my chosen LI with me. Unless he's really, really useless in my play style the first time around. Or unless there's a really specific thing going on. Like when going on the Deeproads expedition. I have set parties for each class and since you -have- to take Varric with you the options are rather slim. I prefer having the siblings become Wardens, though that's not really possible when playing as a Rogue unless there's a trick playing without a tank.
I always take Anders with me or Bethany when playing a Warrior or another Warrior when playing as a Rogue. And Carver will -always- come as I -refuse- to let him become a Templar, and thus, a traitor to his own family.
So we'll see what Inquisition brings us, I know I'll be extremely curious and excited!
The one that is a healer. Cas as a tank. The warden beard guy. and me as a warrior
I apparently pick two that just stay in and then rotate through the third. In Origins it was Alistair and Morgan. In DA2 it was Varric and Anders (third slot was almost always Isabela). I don't see any reason that I won't follow that format again out of habit. Definitely Varric, the rest will depend on their personalities. Iron Bull looks like a good candidate.
Likely Vivienne and the elf companion. Not sure on my third yet, though, as I have yet to decide what class I'll be playing first.
I played rogue first in DAO, but in DA2 I switched to mage (I liked how they'd changed the animations for mages and I liked having more control over magic in the party, plus I felt a mage Hawke related more to the story than a warrior or rogue did), but I have no idea what I'll do in Inquisition. Perhaps I should go warrior first just to complete the triad? Haha! It'll probably be whatever has the nicest animations for me.
But because of this, I'm unsure who my third will be. If I decide to play a mage or warrior, I'll definitely be bringing a rogue with me (so likely Varric, unless we get another rogue character who I end up liking), but if I play a rogue, well... it's up in the air.
I typically end up sticking with the first tank I meet, my LI, and then whoever is the most interesting personality that fills in whatever role is left.
Three female companions
I'm going rogue so Vivienne and bald elf are a must. If I can squeeze another mage in, it'll be awethuuuuuum. If not, then grey warden dude will be the other one. Or whichever other character I like the most and want to have around. My dwarfquisitor will be the lockpicker so preferably a warrior, but if I like a rogue too much I'll take them. I'm really interested in Sera so maybe her...
Male mage is probably first (Or Qunari Female if her voice REALLY grabs me). So probably Cassandra, Varric and either Cullen or male elf dude (whichever one is a companion).
Cassandra, Blonde Elf Girl, Varric, Iron Bull.
Bearded Warden if he is, as I hope, the seasoned Viking-like, booze-drinking and ubermanly type.
So far none of the mages appeal to me.
In the first two games I always took the two female LIs as my first two teammates and then alternated my 3rd spot. In DA it was primarily between Wynne and Shane, and in DA2 it was Bethany in the first Chapter, then I mostly alternated between Varric and Sebastian until I got Bethany back at the end of the third chapter. Right now I'm thinking Cassandra and Sera and Vivienne for my DAI party, but hopefully there will be another female teammate to make my choice more difficult 
.
Varric is my favorite BioWare character that has ever been conceived, so it's a guarantee he'll be in my party all the time. As far as the rest, I don't know them well enough yet. I do know that if I dislike the healer, I'll just work on alchemy and learn the recipes to step around needing one in my party.
I really have no idea who I'll take, since I haven't played the game to know who I'll actually like and dislike having around. Not only that, but we don't have a confirmed list yet of all available characters.
So, I guess the only confirmed companion I know I'll have with me as much as possible is my faithful steed! Everyone else depends on what my Inquisitor is like and how she'll mesh with the rest of the party.
Eventually all of them, but for my first playtrough as a dalish mage: Varric is a no brainer, love him. Cullen if available and same goes for Cole. Though my opinion might change when knowing all the companions and actually meeting them in game.
So Cassandra, Varric, Vivienne and the elf fellow are the ones who are confirmed so far? Do we know how many companions will be available as a total?
Nine seems to be the number people are saying .
Cassandra, Vivienne, and Cullen if he's a companion. At least for my Human rogue.
For my Qunari, have to see what other companions are revealed.

It is also the number the official site says.
