I did everything to be sure, we all lived, did every loyalty mission, went to the IFF, got legion, did his loyalty mission. I upgraded most all of my gear (didn't get legion his sniper rifle) I bought every ship part from the insanely expensive med bay to the probes and healed my scars. Everyone lived and none of the kidnapped crew died.

Everyone survived on my end, thanks to these forums and people posting their combos. Last save No. 649 at just over 45 hours if I remember correctly.
Just set Mordin to Escort. He won't die.
I'm interested to see if Insanity's going to be any different.
I just finished my first play threw on Insanity, its actually quite easy if you get ALL the armor and weapon upgrades for your team, Legion and Garrus can take out a controlled Collector in a few hits using there sniper weapons AND if Garrus has group armor bullets, so awesome.

Half of my crew died.... Because I didn't run straight to the Mass Relay. So Yah, that funny scottish engineer died so I could get some platinum plating on mah ship.
But my squad survived! and I made hawt sweaty love to Jack:wizard: So I'm happy about that.

I survived and told the Illusive man to shove it by blowing everything up. Unfortunately I lost Zaeed and Thane in the process.

Took some time before commencing the suicide mission, but I wasn't entirely prepared: ended up shipping Legion off to Cerberus without talking to him first, then decided against taking more time to recruit Tali, so I was already going in two people and one upgrade short (everyone else was loyal). Thane was lost when the kinetic barriers failed, and Mordin died trying to close the doors behind us. Only Doctor Chakwas survived the Collector attack, but I was afraid of losing more people, so I told her to try to sneak back to the Normandy alone...with predictable results.

I had all ship upgrades and a number of armor and weapon upgrades. Everyone except Lilith lived (but she's pretty much scripted to die).
Ventilation system - Legion
Squad Leader - Garrus
Lead Party back to Normandy - Grunt
Second Squad Leader - Garrus
Biotic Expert - Jack
Apparently if you use this set up and don't have Mordin in your final party he dies. Luckily I chose him.

I certainly did not know about the time limit after the IFF, but I still got there before anyone died. All loose ends were tied up before I proceeded, conveniently.
I just finished the game a few hours ago (made me crap my pants in a good way), and I designated this first play as a 'test run'. I wanted to play the game in order to get a feel for it, go through the storyline the first time (I always find something I missed by the second playthrough), see what the 'big choices' were going to be, and try to figure out how to keep who I wanted alive. Here's what happened.

Here's what happened.
- Everyone loyal, all Normandy upgrades done (makes a huge difference, it seems), but no prototype squad member upgrades (didn't seem to affect anything).
- Tube tech person: Tali. First impulse was to send Legion and keep Tali safe (when I do the second playthrough I want her to be the love interest, and need to find out how to best keep her alive), but I figured that Shepard would logically put more faith in someone who has proven herself multiple times over a geth picked up a few hours ago. She survived.
- First team leader: Garrus. Miranda was the first impulse, but I thought disagreements with Jack might be a liability. Garrus had experience working under pressure and with a small team. Nobody died there.
- Biotic bubble: Samara. Obvious choice, I wanted the most powerful biotic I had; Jack could have done it, but she's simply too unstable. Better offense than defense. Samara got the job done with no casualties.
- Crew escort: Jacob. He's a Vanguard, he's focused, and he seemed to have the right personality, for lack of a better explanation. Good choice, apparently; nobody died.
- Second team leader: Garrus. Did well the first time, no reason to think otherwise a second time. If anything it would be a better choice, since the squad would trust him for his previous success.
- Attacking the Human Reaper: Grunt and Thane. Worked famously.
- I don't know why, and I see that the above combination has yielded the same results for others, but Mordin died while I was handling the reaper. Next time around, I plan to select a different team for the reaper attack, since I really wanted Mordin to survive. I'll scan this thread some more and look for the combinations that were similar to this but ensured survival for everyone. EDIT: Looks like I can avert Mordin's death by replacing, say, Thane, in the final fight. Makes sense, I suppose.

Miranda was LI and all her competition was killed. I thought that was hilarious. Tali by rocket to the dome, non loyal Jack laid in a crumpled heap after defending the door, and Chambers was liquidated.
Zaeed also kicked it via swarm (Bromance?).

All crew members and squad members survived except Jack, who died in the cutscene after you emerge from the omega 4 relay, she got impaled by a metallshard, otherwise it worked like a charm

My first playthough, I lost Mordin, Garrus, and Grunt. My original team and thought process went as following-
Garrus for the Vents
- Hmm, Garrus can handle himself! He's good at tech stuff and I'm pretty sure he'll be able handle himself if he gets caught alone. Alright Garrus, now open the door. C'mon, there we go! Haha! Now close i- What do you mean it's stuck?! We gotta get it closed! Push man, Pu- OH GOD GARRUS!
Prior to this, I didn't know that the vent was just a tube they went into, no real combat. He got Blam'd in the face. Whoops!
Jacob for the Squad leader
-Someone who's good at leading? Jacob! He's a fine soldier who's had valuable experience in leading a team. He'll be Fiiiine. Luckily, my choice survived.
Zaeed for Escort
-I chose him since he's use to working on his own and he'll be able to take on any collector on his way. Good choice!
Jack for Biotics
-Someone with a strong biotic field would have to be Jack. She's only been using her powers since she was a small girl. She'll pull us through. Although, I did get worried near the end of the part where she starts to weaken. I thought OHGODWE'REGOINGTODIE, maybe she pulled through since she was loyal? Ah well.
Grunt for Diversion team.
-Who's better than causing a diversion better than a huge, angry krogan? Nobody! I am worried about these messages I'm receiving over the comm, C'mon Grunt. You'll pull through. Now that we're through there, we need to let them in! Open the door! Alright Grunt, there you are! High Fi- OH GOD GRUNT!
Apparently, Grunt did his job too well, and the final shot to the gut was the end for him. I was moderately depressed.
Tali and Thane for the final mission
-No problems here, I showed that Terminator-wannabe who's boss, increasing Shepards Reaper kill count to 2, 3 if you count Sovereign. I caught Thane, they all survived the fall, but was told that the survivors did not include Mordin. This was saddening, I wanted to see him in concert, too.
Second playthrough went much better, Everyone survived.
Legion for Vents
-Probably one of the best hackers on the team, Lets use him.
Jacob for Squad leader
-Same
Zaeed for Escot
-Same
Jack for Bioitcs
-Same
Jacob for Diversion team
-Alright, judging from his success last time, he'll pull through for me again. I have high hoped for him, his radio Comm has been pretty good so far. Hopefully he's fairing well. Now that we're here, we need to let them in! Open the door! Alright Jacob, you made it! You also managed to not get shot in the g- OH GOD JACOB! JACOB ARE YOU O-...You're fine? Just got the wind knocked out of you? Alright! Lets rock!
Tali and Mordin for the final mission
-Basically went over the same. Floating platforms, Terminator battle, Suck it Illusive man, Etc. I was pleased to hear that none of my squadmates decided to use the air as cover and made it all back to the ship! Go me!
Garrus for the Vents
- Hmm, Garrus can handle himself! He's good at tech stuff and I'm pretty sure he'll be able handle himself if he gets caught alone. Alright Garrus, now open the door. C'mon, there we go! Haha! Now close i- What do you mean it's stuck?! We gotta get it closed! Push man, Pu- OH GOD GARRUS!

Every single upgrade on the ship and crewmembers. Only thing I was missing was 1 skin weave for shepard, but thats like +5-10 hp whoopdedo
Complete paragon run, did paragon interrupts whenever I could. Did all sidequests before dropping down for the IFF, did legion's loyalty mission and left immediately.
Tali for vents
garrus for leader
took zaeed and legion with me
Took jack as my biotic shield
sent mordin back with the crew
had garrus lead again
took zaeed and legion with me again
No deaths of team members, saved all the crewmembers.

I'm curious to know how many squad members can die and have Shepard still live.
