I would also recommend choosing a good biotic. When Shepard is an infiltrator (combat/tech specialist) - It's important to have a good combat specialist in your team - Grunt and Zaeed are the best followers you can hire for the suicide mission, however Garrus or Jacob can fill in the first spots until they've been unlocked.

You can exchange her for Tali or Legion later in the campaign. As for your tech specialist, Miranda will do the job for most of the game, because she has learned a very useful Overload ability. When Shepard is a soldier (combat specialist) - You should add Jack to your team in the early stages of the game, although you might want to consider taking Samara in her place after the asari has joined your team. Here are some of my suggestions for balanced, safe squads: You pick a team each time when you leave Normandy and it's a possible to choose a different squad for each assignment. For example, you don't necessarily have to take a tech specialists if you'll be fighting organic targets or monsters, but you can take even two of them if you know that you'll fighting a lot of machines. If you think of yourself as a more experienced player you may consider changing your team depending on the dangers of each mission. Naturally it won't always be possible to choose certain specializations and things may get even more complicated if you decide to choose a class which is a combination of two different specializations. Doing so allows you to be prepared for different kinds of threats. It's always a good thing to have a balanced squad which would have one combat specialist, one biotic specialist and one tech specialist. The main factor you must take under consideration when choosing a team is your main character's class. Unique powers of this character: concussive shot, disruptor ammo, Inferno grenade.

You can recruit this character only if you've installed Zaeed DLC! Normandy: Storage area on the fourth deck. He can join your team after completing Dossier: The Veteran mission.
