As long as everyone had enemy skill, the game was easy enough (you had white wind that would heal health and ailments fully, big guard and plenty of damage spells).
Sometimes I want to go through a game without Enemy Skill but it's just so useful that I wonder if it makes the game too easy. I'm a sucker for it too and usually have at least two people with it.

Otherwise it's usually pretty standard fare. Only one or two summons per person, packed up with green materia. Usually have a Cure-All in there and any stat boosting materia for any spare slots I have. Try to add in some HP increasing ones to offset the balance of the other materia somewhat.
