I would say:
1. Probably one of you should to play a priest. EQ is not a very forgiving game, and if you don't have some healing ability you'll spend half your time looking for your corpse. All three are viable; Clerics and Shamans are the standard choices but Druids are tremendously underrated here and make up in utility what they lack in raw power.
2. Probably one of you should play a control class. It's difficult to do dungeons with only root. If your priest picked Druid or Cleric, you'll want the control class to be Enchanter or Bard or you'll spend all your time waiting on mana. If you picked Shaman, you can go with an FD splitting class (Monk, Necromancer, or Shadowknight).
Other than that, it really doesn't matter so much. Late Velious balanced the classes fairly well, with the exception of Wizards who are garbage leveling in normal groups and charming Enchanters who crush XP content from Classic all the way through Planes of Power. If you are willing to charm, the single best trio is probably SK/CLR/ENC. If not, MNK/SHM/NEC is worth trying, although this doesn't have the same level of endgame firepower.
