Jack as the biotic specialist, and Tali as the tech specialist(you need her loyalty for the shield upgrade). Take Tali and Jack on the platform with you because non loyal members might fall off or get crushed at the end, and leave behind your loyal Grunt, Zaeed, and Garrus to keep everyone else alive. Having all the party members, even if they aren't loyal, will still provide you with extra firepower to assist holding the door. I don't recommend playing the game this way but if you want to get this achievement quickly then this is the way to go.
@Killjoi: What you said about leaving behind a strong team for the "rear guard sequence" is absolutely correct. Every team member has a combat rating which increases with loyalty and a certain check is required to keep everyone alive while holding the door during the boss fight. If the defense check isn't met then people will start dying off, usually in order or weakest non loyal members first. Grunt and Zaeed are the BEST for this; Grunt even pumps his shoulders when Shepard says that we need someone to hold the door(indicating that he is the man for the job). That is why sending Grunt as the escort is a horrible idea.
I've played ME2 over 10x(always getting all loyalties) but I made a mock playthrough just to test something out. On this playthrough, I recruited all team members including Kasumi but only got the loyalty of 6 people and NO ONE died. I used Garrus as team leader twice(you need him loyal for the gun upgrade), Jacob for the escort(you need him loyal for the armor upgrade),
