A balanced build consisting of roughly 500 in both Str/Mgk, 300 in both Def/MDef and Health/Stamina at roughly 4000, will give you the results that are a good balance of damage and survivablity in BBI. You could also boost the Mgk stat a bit to 600/500ish for more power and keep the others stats as above.

Your Ranger may not have as much trouble with interruptions, but a Sorcerer can only be effective if he can cast and the 300 Def/MDef should be sufficient base stats when considering the boosts available from Gold Forged armors. The 4000 Stamina will allow for more effective use of sustained spells like Fulmination on the Sorcerer and your Ranger will be able to be more effective using skills.

Balanced Build: Fighter to Level 10 / Warrior 27, Ranger 63 to Level 100 / Ranger 23, Sorcerer 76, Strider 1 to Level 200

Magic Build: Fighter to Level 10 / Warrior 23, Ranger 67 to Level 100 / Warrior 8, Sorcerer 92 to Level 200

You'd mostly be able to play as your preferred classes with either except for the brief sojourns as a Warrior.
