Yeah I almost wish Excalibur had been folded into the X-Men following the Muir Island nonsense. We’d have had three teams of 6 X-men, each with a far more clear expertise:
Blue Team / covert operations
Nightcrawler lead, Psylocke telepath, Rogue muscle
Wolverine, Gambit, Shadowcat
Red Team / warzone intervention
Cyclops lead, Phoenix telepath, Colossus muscle
Banshee, Iceman, Meggan
Gold Team / flagship rescue team
Storm lead, Marvel Woman telepath, Captain Britain muscle
Beast, Archangel, Forge

Honestly, I don't get the Blue/Gold love. Both of those early runs were pretty bad. Jim Lee only lasted like, what, 5 more issues after that original 3 issue run with Claremont. Sure his Omega Red design is slick, but that's about it. And then a Mojo story? Nope. I will give Gold that first story that introduced Fitzroy/killed the Hellions/and introed Bishop, but then they went to that stupid dimension with Mikal and then some more Morlocks nonsense. Neither of their original runs were that good, and they only started to get kinda okay when the rosters mixed back up again circa X-Cutioner's Song, and then Lobdell took the wheel and kinda made something of it. But really, other than Claremont's X-Men 1-3, that early Blue/Gold era was a mess!
Let the flames destroy all but that which is pure and true!
The X-Men: Evolution's roster -- Professor X, Wolverine, Beast, and Storm as faculty and Cyclops, Jean Grey, Nightcrawler, Rogue, and Kitty Pryde as the core students -- is my preferred combo. I also liked how the later New X-Men stuff really focused on the younger students, not the famous adults.
Doctor Strange: "You are the right person to replace Logan."
X-23: "I know there are people who disapprove... Guys on the Internet mainly."

Outback team is my favorite.
One I feel is underappreciated, the New X-Men.
