First, let me steal the idea of some, having Black Canary as leader. This could be a great way to develop the character.
Black Canary: Leader, martial arts, tactician
Monsieur Mallah: reformed, vice-leader, muscle and brains, everything is better with monkeys
Vixen: agility, take care of the madhouse below.
Shazam: powerhouse, kid/man dinamic would be very interesting to write on the team
Zan and Jayna: versatility, wild card, teenagers to interact with Billy Batson
Static: usefull powers, optimistic view of heroes
Peacemaker: first to jump into action, fighter and weapon specialist, every team needs a borderline psychopath to handle.
Plastic Man: human shield, I mean, specialist in critical tactics.
Most of my "Dream Leagues" are almost devoid of any of the six families listed so this is a cakewalk for me:
1. Captain Marvel
2. Booster Gold
3. Vixen
4. Metamorpho
5. Mister Miracle
6. Celsius
7. Black Lightning
8. Nightshade
9. Hawkwoman
10. Question
11. Frankenstein
12. Tsunami
ok, here goes:
1. ted kord
2. booster gold
3. fire
4. ice
5. j'onn j'onnz
6. captain atom
7. mister miracle
wait, this line up looks vaguely familiar...
Black Canary - tactician/leader/street smarts
Green Lantern (Jessica Cruz) - galactic/energy manipulation
Steel - technology/power
Firestorm - power/versatility
Zatanna - magic
Martian Manhunter - powerhouse/mentalist/infiltration
Jesse Quick - speedster/finance
What I Read: Nightwing, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Justice League, Batman, Detective Comics, Batgirl, , The Flash, Action Comics, Superman, and Suicide Squad
What I Miss: Justice League and Justice League Unlimited TV Series, Wolverine and the X-Men TV Series and the Marvel Comics that got me into reading comics to begin with.

Captain Atom
Blue Beetle
Booster Gold
Fire

Green Arrow
Black Canary
Vixen
Vibe
Elongated Man
Martian Manhunter
The Marvel Family is no longer the 4th estate at DC???????
1. Mr. Terrific - co-leader
2. Black Canary - co-leader
3. Black Lightning
4. Vixen
5. Shazam
6. Hawkwoman (Shayera Thal)
7. Isis
8. Zatanna
9. Firehawk
10. Fire
11. Ice
12. Steel
13. Element Woman
I made a few changes to my team:
This team would be the core of a new Satellite era of the League.
MM would act as leader and the others would rotate from mission to mission. Members of the Big 7 or their legacies would also be part of the larger roster, but they wouldn't appear as often as the core members.
Roughly, each mission would count with:
-> Martian Manhunter as leader
-> 3 to 5 core members (one on monitor duty) - the ones on the picture.
-> 1 to 3 Founders or legacies (Superman, Wonder Woman, Batman, Flash Aquaman, Mera and the GLs)
+ Recurring allies whenever needed (Green Arrow, Hawkwoman, Firestorm, Killer Frost etc).
There would only be one Justice League book and it would be the place for all the big action and tons of world building.

I love seeing all these lineups with Booster Gold, Black Canary, Hawkgirl/woman and Vixen, on them, as well as surprise appearances by Firehawk, Celsius, Nightshade, Etrigan, etc. Very cool to see such outside-the-box Leaguers!
I like that you've got all three of the 'seventh founders' there, with Martian Manhunter, Black Canary and Cyborg.
