FT-Multiplayer Games

Well, I'm running my first multiplayer game tomorrow.

 There should be between three to five players per side.The game should
last around two and a half hours. (Our normal gaming time is 7-10 p.m.)
Most players will be learning the rules as we start.

 Do people who have had experience with this think I should assign every
player approximately:

A) One Cruiser and two Destroyers  each

B) One Battleship and two Crusers each

C) One Battleship or Dreadnought each

D) Something else (smaller commands, larger commands)?

Thanks,

John Kovalic
