So, to partcialy re-phrase the question:

What is your ideal but feasable alliance structure?
I agree that if you are selecting as the #1 alliance you will likely end up with two uber-shooters and the best defense bot that is left over, but you might get beat by the 6,7,or 8 alliance who chose three offense bots.

I like this year's serpentine selection system!
