Some times I have also thought about which could be the ideal PA line-up, and even though I wouldn't agree with every member, I think this might be it:

Vocals:  Peter Gabriel.

Guitars:  Robert Fripp (though Steve Hackett might just as well be chosen, or even Steve Howe).

Keyboards:  Keith Emerson (though Tony Banks might just as well be chosen, or a bit less likely, even Rick Wakeman).

Flute:  Ian Anderson (sharing some vocal duties).

Bass:  Crhis Squire, sharing some vocal duties.

Drums:  Bill Bruford.

When you said "ideal PA lineup," at first I thought you meant a band composed of members of this site!  Which would probably be an interesting topic, too.  You could kick out everyone in my first suggested lineup except for Rob and I, add Phideaux and Smurph, and then a drummer...who plays drums around here?
 That would be pretty cool. If you guys needed a guitarist or a piano player, I'm the guy!  Austin (Horizons) plays drums and I assume he's quite good considering he can play Mars Volta material. 

Alright, well, here we go:

Phideaux: vocals, acoustic guitars, synthesizers
Max (Fox on the Rocks): Piano and keyboards
Rob (Epignosis): Bass, mellotron, guitar, backing vocals
Austin (Horizons): drums and percussion
deleriumofthethush: drums and percussion
Greg (Smurph): guitar
Jacob (Ambient Hurricanes): guitar and backing vocals

Now we've got our PA supergroup .
 Sounds good. Wow, I see a lot of guitars, and two drummers!  Aw yeah. What kind of music would we be making?

I don't know.  If I had my way, it would be heavy prog bordering on metal with avant-garde tinges and incorporating sections of post-rock and Iona-style synthy interludes.  Lots of dissonance, great riffs, emotional and intense, lots of tension, somewhat depressing with a few glimmers of hope to point forward.
That's just what I've been writing lately, but put all our heads together and who knows what we'd come up with . 

Why don't you guys just give it a try, you could just try and record and share through internet, many artists are doing it that way this days.  Perhaps one song, at least a cover.
