I do SK and cleric, runs pretty well, will go even better once SK can feign pulls for singles and such.
It depends on what you are doing. Note that this is all pretty much a high end, well equipped perspective so I'm not 100% sure on how it effects lower levels, its been a while 
In general choose whatever classes you want to play, and try to group as much as you can because the exp grouping is WAY better than duoing.
At the high end I tend to be able to duo with a lot less downtime with cleric/monk actually, compared to monk/shaman. Clerics are just THAT much better healers that they don't need to spend nearly as much time/mana healing as a shaman would in the same situation. This leaves them free to melee, which at a high level actual contributes a respectable amount of dps while using 0 additional mana. To do dps at a shaman you need to use really mana intensive dots, which results in more medding downtime (even with Canni IV and V in consideration).

I see in cleric + BL a pretty well rounded combo.
The BL does a very decent amount of damage, hastes himself, slows. The cleric heals, and can deal a decent amount of damage at higher level. It also allows you to have two manageable characters if you want to raid later.
On that note, ranger is a rather box-unfriendly class, as your good dps is directly related to how often you can press on a button to fire an arrow. If you plan on healing on the other box, your DPS will suffer greatly. If you plan to always melee, you'd better chose a monk.
BL + Druid would work as well.
