It usually depended on the mission:

 

Garrus was my most common choice. I would use his area Area Overload to completely strip a group of mooks of their shields, then follow it up with my own Reave, then we'd quickly mop up enemies.

 

Grunt because I charged around so much I didn't pay much attention to the squadmates. However, Grunt is bulky and strong enough that he does pretty decent damage by himself once you get enemies in the crossfire.

 

Jack I used for her Shockwave. I also had the ability on my Vanguard and I found it fun to stagger groups of enemies with it.

 

Zaeed I used for the Geth missions because of his Squard Disruptor ammo.

 

Kasumi when I knew the YMIR mechs would show up. I would have her Shadow Stike so I could charge in while their backs were turned and get rid of them.

Depending how you play Vanguard in ME2:

• Miranda and Thane for Warp bombs
• Kasumi for Flashbang because who needs cover as a Vanguard?
• Everybody else.

Doesn't matter what class I play. It will be Miranda and Zaeed.

Miranda and Samara, I guess?

 

I just pick which ones that help me survive the mission quickly. It could be everyone really.

Whomever I want for banter just like with every other. Going to be Mordin/Tali about 75% of the time, with Garrus switching in for most of the others. They can all area strip shields or armor so you can then ragdoll things with your face, and all have good CC options as well. I guess there's some synergy or something, not that I care because this game's easy.

This.

 

Kasumi is brought on practically every mission whenever I play Vanguard. Miranda and Garrus usually get rotated as the second squadmate. Zaeed compliments Kasumi and Vanguard Shep surprisingly well too.

Mirana brings both warp and overload to the table, which effectively makes you free to chose whomever you like as 3rd one.

Zaeed and Kasumi are fine with my Vanguard.

I think Garrus would be fine too.

Miranda is always a fine choice because of her ability to cause explosions and also because she can enhance the team´s abilities.

 

Zaed is another great choice because he has insane weapon damage. He and Miranda will also work greatly against synthetics (overload+zaed´s special ammo).

 

If you have Garrus with area overload+plus armor-piercing ammo shared with the whole team and also has miranda or zaed as support you can wreak havoc on the battlefield.  

 

I realize that it´s an unusual choice, but both Tali and Legion can also assist, either by hacking some enemies or by using drones to distract the enemies. With 2 drones on the field, the enemies will have to deal with 5 hostile opponents instead of the usual 3. The only problem is that even on maximum level the drones take forever to reload once they´re summoned. 

 

But to be fair, I´m far from being a vanguard specialist. To be completely honest it´s my least favorite class on single-player in the entire series. While I do find all other classes fun (and funny) to play, vanguard was always a very tense experience to me. If I try a trilogy run with the vanguard, I´ll probably need to reload the games more times on this particular play-through than all the other 5 classes trilogy runs combined. I´m not joking. 

 

I´m not a fan of the high-risk/high-reward mentality. I rather play safe and from a distance, only engaging at close range targets at opportunity or when there´s no other way because the fight already starts with the enemy right on top of you. 

 

I also have to say that I don´t like shotguns in the me2/3 era. Not when ammo becomes an issue. It´s an issue with snippers too, I know, but at least I´m far away from the enemy trying to find more clips. 

 

Otherwise, I´m usually a snipper (even if I´m Soldier class), or using biotic and tech powers from medium or long distance. 

 

The only thing I think I could add is that the choice of squad-mates (as well as the way you evolve their powers) depends not only on the class shepard is using, but also the difficult level you set for your game. Some choices of evolution can work in reversal order if you´re playing on casual or normal, compared to someone playing on hardcore and insanity. In normal, you don´t have to worry about stripping enemies defenses during most of the time. Very few elite enemies, sub-bosses and bosses exist. The mentality of a player on the harder levels needs to be radically different. You wont be simply dealing with a more aggressive AI that causes more damage and utilizes special powers more often, but enemies mounted with defenses that need to be dealt with. As you become more proficient with the game and advances to replay it on harder levels, instead of merely intensifying your strategies, in some points you also need to alter them.

Seems like this thread should have been put in Combat, Strategy, and Gameplay.

Miranda and Garrus.

 

Ideal comp nearly always requires factoring in the mission and enemy, although Miranda/Garrus + a Pull-bot will work fine on most missions with Vanguard.
