Curse You
Since I use my Necromancer the most, I'll post what I use on him.
Always (some exceptions)
Koss (He's my sword warrior, Jora's my axe and so isn't as good for general fighting)
Dunkoro (Tahlkora is prot, which I suck at making builds for)
Varies (depending on what/where I'm fighting)
Gwen (Interrupts, yes please!)
Margrid the Sly (BHA, yes please!)
Note: I prefer sword to axe for a good reason: [wiki]Crippling Slash[/wiki].

Sabway. If I don't have one of the necros, I replace with Razah/Xandra as healer. Or one of the monks goes LoD/WoH.

I do not run healer heroes much unless I use Sabway (reserved for 4/6 man areas these days). I am a high believer of very heavy physical teams especially in HM where the damage shines over casters.

Good man. Yay, I'm doing charity work by proxy. Awesome.
Native English speaker? 45 is good stuff. It maxes at 50. I've peaked at 47 but normally ~42.
Edit: It bugs me that any 3 necro build is becomming known as Sab's necro build ¬_¬. He posted a reasonable build with necros and rits ages after it was popular, and now it's hailed as the holy graile of pve :\
strcpy
Like others I use Sab's triple necro team quite often - I especially use it in places where things are strong against fire (say, against Destroyers). It's a good all around build.
However I normally run with a nearly pure "fire" team. The basis of it is a Searing Flames ele that uses Mark of Rodgort, a Barrage Ranger with a fire bow, and a minion master. I then try and get my main profession to do some type of AoE fire damage (my main title hunter is a dervish so no big deal). In corpse lite area then a ToF paragon is brought in place of a protection monk hench.
I find the latter team works better for nearly all NM areas (LOTS of offense, things rarely have time to kill me) and with a main character that either fills one of the core roles or can add a decent amount of fire AoE damage it works well in most HM areas. In places it doesn't Sab's triple necro is my choice.
Nearly all the heroes get a go from time to time, well at least nearly all the hero professions do. I prefer some models over others - if given the choice I prefer to watch females then males. Then there are places where I use a specialized build - I always use Pyre as a Touch Ranger but that isn't a build I normally roll with though it is *highly* effective in some areas.

On my paragon: Morghan, Koss, Melonni (Koss will be replaced by Hayda when I get her).
Ranger: depends how I'm feeling, recently I've been doing Morghan, Hayda, and Pyre as a spear hucker.
Everyone else: depends on the area mainly.

I mostly use the same hero's on all my chars. shame it may just be 3 (oeps

Most of the time I play with my Necro and 9 of the 10 times I use ranger
as seccond on my self and my hero's (yes even the monk)

I play a blood necro with eabon vanguard assasin and pain inverter + pet
Livia is a MM + Pet.
Master of Whisper is SS+mark of Pain + barbs + pet
Ogden is WoH with some others + pet.
This is realy fun! Most of the time (normal mode) I just take 1 more hench healer.
The pets + minnions do enough damage with mark and barbs. As long I keep
the energy running on the hero's its the most pleasant way to play that I
know of.

Depends where I am.
It mostly starts with a bunch of SF/SH eles and MM. Pretty much for the places where stuff just spontaneously combusts when you aggro.
Then the MM turns into a blood or a cursing necro with tons of protection skills - and the eles become warriors or paragons. The warriors are dumber then Devona but I only have one para hero for now so they are still nice to triggers those orders, ancestor's, splinter or warmongers.

Master Knightfall
I take a curses/death SS/MM/Death Nova necro (Whispers) 15 death 13 curses and sometimes switch between SS and Discord. Then I take a SF Ele (Alcolyte) with Mark of Rodgort and Blood Ritual to keep my necro and monk in energy since he always has plenty using glowing gaze inbetween casts of SF. Then a Healing Monk (Dunkoro) has Word of Healing and some ME skills and a fire weapon to keep them mobs burning inbetween healings. I also run the monk with a shield with +10 vs (whatever common mob we are going up against) mostly +10 slashing though. So monk has good armor defense and we all just stream along really well just the four of us.
Sometimes I take Koss and Malonni just for kicks when I know the zone is pretty easy like the early zones after the docks in Nightfall. Rarely do any of the others get to go especially the assassin or mesmers or rangers cause they just aren't that good as heroes. Sometimes I will take another necro in place of the SF Ele just for some necro army fun as I play a necro as well, mostly curses I don't like keeping up with all those minions and I could never cast death nova as well as Whispers can. But we have a nice supply of curses we through on everything. I sometimes am the blood rititual carrier since the two necros can do a bangup job by themselves most of the time with one doing SS and the other Discord.

My third one I switch a lot now to either Tahlkora, Gwen or Koss though depending on the area I might be lucky enough to put in someone else and get the job done.

Depends on the situation. If I am pugging I can say that most times I use Olias as a Jagged Bones Minion Bomber with myself as SS curses necro. Zhed as either SF or SH and Tahl as protection. If solo I use Olias as above with myself as above. Zhed as above or another type of elementalist and whatever other hero that I feel like taking.

If I'm on my main, my Monk, I'll take Olias as MM, Master as SS, and Livia as N/Rt 
Actually I try to take those as most of my chars if I can, unless I don't have Liva, in which case I either take a Ranger or Ele. I pretty much leave the Monk healing up to the henchies (unless on my Monk), they're not too bad at it and it leaves me with more room to take damage dealers I can manipulate.
If I'm on my Ele I tend to go SF and take Zhed as SH, and Acolyte Sousuke as earth Ele with Sandstorm. And I always take an MM (and it's always Olias as he' seems best at it) unless there's not gonna be bodies, and in that case I'll take Koss with Dragon Slash.

I just bring the ones I'll need in the next area. If they are not set, I buy the runes right away in my guild hall.
My most used Heroes with my primary character are:
- MM Livia.
- Healing Tahlkora
- Restoration Xandra.
- Air/Antifighter(Spread conditions) Vekk.
- Protector Dunkoro.
- Hyper Blossom.
- Rolling Bubbles.
- Power Buttercup.
No, wait, forget the 3 last ones.
The rest are correct. XD.

On my monk:
Razah the minion bomber is my nearly constant companion. I started using him because I got him the early expensive way and wanted my money's worth, and then kept using him because he's just so cool. He's a good daddy to his minions, spamming enchantments more patiently than I ever could. And sometimes he'll run from a mob yelling, "This conflict does not educate me! Cease and desist!". Razah is my awesome buddy.
I also usually bring a single SF hero, with Mark of Rodgort - this makes the fire henchman more effective while allowing me to bring a different hero in the third slot. The ele hero is usually Vekk because of his short stumpy legs.
The third slot is variable, but most often an interrupt hero - either a BHA ranger (usually Margrid) or Gwen. My Gwen has Deldrimor armor, and whenever I group with my paragon guildie he DEMANDS that I bring her so he can stare at her

With my warrior
Koss w/ Eviscerate/Executioner's and shouts
Xandra Restore/Channeling
Dunkoro Glimmer
In certain areas, Koss and Xandra are replaceable, but Dunkoro is usually always in there.

WinterSnowblind
I'm a Warrior and I usually take Dunkoro, Souske and General Morghan or Olias, if I'm playing by myself. I like Pyre as well, if I need someone to interupt.
GloryFox
I tend to bring Xandra and Razah on almost all of my travels now. I use them both as Spawning power Minion bombers. Then I add whatever else I need at the time.
The builds are
Spawning 12 +1 +2
Death 12
Restoration 3 +1
Flesh of my Flesh (Res Skill)
Boon of Creation - Gives 100 Health and 12 Energy (based upon minions)
Explosive Growth - 130 AoE lighting Damage (based upon minions)
Spirits Gift - 100 Party health and 2 Conditions (based upon minions)
Animate Bone Minions
Animate Shambling Horror
Order of Undeath [Elite] - Deals an additional 13 - 104 per set of 8
Death Nova (Razah Only)
Blood of the Master (Xandra Only)
I almost always end up with 16 minions after the first one or two encounters then it's easy from there on. Enemies end up falling like a Hot Knife through butter.

In normal:
Jin R/P barrage/gfte
Margrid R/P barrage/gfte
Olias minions
Rolls stuff over like no tomorrow (my main was a SS necro), but lacks resilience for hard mode. Not to mention empathy/backfire is soooo good in HM, it would be stupid not to take it, just like it would be stupid not to take a MM for 90% of the areas. And the build loses a lot with just one barrager, so both of them have to go.
But GFTE bone fiend spike on a target with barbs = lol
For HM:
Norgu dom (empathy is awesome in HM)
Olias minions
Tahlkora LoD (probably not good anymore) or something else. Depending on the area.
Jin R/P barrage/gfte
Margrid R/P barrage/gfte

I usually take Razah as healer, Olias as mm I had Flesh Golem on em but he lives longer with Aura of the Lich, and sousuke who has a Mind Blast build similer to Searing Flame.

I'm a necro primary, so I bring
Jora as a tank
Livia as an MM
Tahlkora as healing monk
then
Gwen as an anti caster
Jin if I need a ranger
Sousuke if I need a fire ele

For me it's W, P, P most of the time when playing my mesmer or monk.
Trying W, P, P and W, W, P when playing paragon.
I stopped using my hero monks except when playing 2 human + 6 heroes.
I am experimenting a little with 3 BM heroes on my ranger, but that's mainly for fun.
There are some areas where I tend to take Sab's necro team or at least a MM.
Mainly when there are many hexes and conditions, since minions are an excellent diversion.

Tahlkora as a prot monk. (Dunkoro and Ogden are ugly)
Vekk as a SF ele. (asura are cool)
They are there in 90% cases.
The third is usually Norgu as a degen/interrupter (i dont trust Gwen!), or Xandra as a minion bomber (tho ive unlocked Razah too, dont know why i dont use him really).
I tend never to use heroes with proffesions i have little experience with, like rangers, paragons, warriors and necromancers. Its easy to take a build off the wiki, but i somehow cant trust those builds as i have no experience with them.
