Since I pretty much use the Devils exclusively, I'll chime in.
I use Richer-Semak-Zelepukin up front with Stevens and Niedermayer on the back. Because I think, as a real life Devils fan, we're all supposed to hate Bruce Driver and I don't remember why anymore.
However, since I've pretty much been playing alone for years, I tend to use line changes and whatnot, which I break down as
Richer-Semak-MacLean
Lemieux-Nicholls-Zelepukin
McKay-Stastny-Holik
Stevens-Niedermayer
Fetisov-Kasatonov
Driver-Daneyko
You just need to play the Devils like they played in real life, tight defensively with big hits and attack mostly on turnovers.
Although it's pretty apparent I'm more of a "set it up like I actually would've" as opposed to the "higher ranking means 1st line" approach. Although Stastny was more of a scorer in his day than a 3rd liner and I really wish we had Peluso so I could relive the Crash Line from back in the day.
