generally i'm used to use this formation:
1 unit: general (G)
2 units: teutonic knights or if you can get - gothic knights
2 units: bowman (for flame arrows) (BOW)
4 units: crossbowman (i prefer mercenaries for their wider range) (CBM)
4 units: sergeant spear man (main frontline) (SER)
2 units: sword knights (can't recall the exact name atm) (SDK)
2 units: Forlorn Hope or other Zweihänder (to break formations) (ZWH)
with the last three slots i vary for my needs - siege stuff or more cav or more infantry...
