Until i get Legion, i mix it up every time. However, I always have Legion in my party once he is available. I mix up the other party members, depending on the situation, but i always get amused at Legion and Tali in the same party. Particularly for Talis loyalty quest.
In ME1, at first i always went with Wrex, and had Ashley or Garrus in the other slot. In all my plays of the first game, I have not once used Liara or Kaiden, and I used Tali in only one.

In ME1 I went solider and had Garrus and Wrex with me the entire game.
In ME2 I went infiltrator, I change my party pretty regularly. Jack and Grunt are both regulars, Jack for her shockwave ability that is a little too useful, and grunt for being the tankiest tank there is.
Though I'd also go Thane and Garrus whenever I felt like going snipe-happy. Good times...

Does it really matter? It doesn't matter which 2 characters you choose - pretty much ALL of them (except maybe Grunt... kinda...) just do the same hiding behind chest high walls and popping out every now and then to shoot a few Pew-Pew-Lazer-Ka-Pews at each other.
Now if the characters had actually played a bit more appropriately to what their personalities were like (for example: Thane could go all ninja and sneak up on baddies from behind and snap dem necks, or Mordin would for the most part refuse to shoot, but offer up shields and medical assistance to keep you and the other teammate alive, or if Jack could be bothered to stick to her giant Kamehameha biotics that she so prominently used during her "introduction/recruiting" mission), THEN maybe it would matter, and maybe even add a huge layer of depth to the game.
But ah well, dem's just my thoughts.
OT:: I like Thane and Garrus, just because they're so bad@$$!

Hmmm, well I rotated sometimes just to get a kick out of the characters, especially on my second playthrough. On my first time through the game though, I mostly stuck with Samara and Thane - I found the (Mass) Throw ability to just be pure awesome, fun and most importantly, useful/powerful, especially when used with (Mass) Pull. Those two were also loads of fun and I really liked them as characters.
I liked Legion a lot and due to him being a sniper, took him a few times on the second playthough, but I have to say, I find Techies just useless. I was an Infiltrator so I picked up the first level of robot-mind-control thing myself and that was all I needed, cause I rarely ran into them and even when I did, I'd rather control one who'll distract and shoot at the others than take control of a whole group who will then (if there's no one else) just stand around picking their noses.
I found Miranda and Jacob far too boring/simple (why take boring "standard" humans over cool aliens when playing a space game) and Jack was a bit too mental for me and not too interesting. Grunt was cool but I wasn't into fighters and, like Legion, I found Mordin/Tali mostly useless as techies. Garus was cool though, I've had him instead of Samara/Thane (rotated) on my second playthrough and was pretty useful with the explosion thing when there were synthetics around.
Overall though, Samara+Thane is my favourite choice for both interaction (I love how "elegant" they both are as fighters and characters) and abilities.

Tali and Garrus no matter what. Because I don't care how effective my squad is, with them, I can survive anything...
I play as a Solider and I usually take Garrus and Tali with me, firstly, I didn't like most of the new cast so it was good to have familiar faces with me and secondly, both of them are just so damn likable (and Tali also happened to be my love interest).
