My equipment for an 8-man squad (it's the kind I use mostly, but for small UFOs I only take 3 people on a Skyranger) in a Lightning will be as follows (most of the time) :-
5x Laser Rifle
2x Heavy Plasma
1x Heavy Laser
Sometimes a small launcher w/3 bombs instead of a Laser Rifle
2x Heavy Plasma clips
12x Medkits (if in armour) - 12 because they do run out, I have 3 medics who carry 2 each and no HE
10x HE Packs - 2 for all non-medics
8x Smoke Grenades
16x Proximity
2x Flares
8x Stun Rods
It'll take on anyone and win. I also have a commando squad who are only armed with Laser Rifles, but carry 3x Smoke Grenades each, 3 x HE each and all wear flying armour. They can wipe out a whole battleship with no loss. Woohoo!

Why the lasers? Aren't plasma weapons much better? When you say HE, are referring to alien grenades, normal grenades or the big fat stationary HE's with 110 in damage?
