Raiton/Mokuton Bushins for attack.
Kage Bushins for best chakra conservation I reckon (the other clones that can fight are more advanced so must cost mroe chakra)
Sais Ink clones seem to be awesome for intel sharing.
Normal clones are just useless in an advanced battle...
e.g.
Earth clones
Water Clones
Normal clones
Shadow clones are the best and the affinity based Shadow clones are even more useful...
e.g.
Shadow clones
Wood release: Shadow clones
Lightning release: Shadow clones
Earth release: Shadow clones
