LOL ah, the classic debate. If you ask 10 players, you'll get 10 different opinions. Some have advocated no more than 2 raid cards with 5 consistent heavy hitters. Most seem to like 3 raid cards with 4 heavy hitters, since the maximum number of raid skills that will ever activate is 3. And on the extreme side, I know a few players who use 7 raid cards, with the school of thought being that they have the maximum chance that at least a single skill will fire, which makes using the less efficient raid cards worth it because of the bonus they give. I lean towards this strategy, although not to that extreme. I use 5 raiders: 2 skill 10 pwr 14, 1 skill 8 pwr 14, one skill 12, and one skill 10 pwr 15, along with 2 pwr 17 13k+ non-raid cards. I am very satisfied with my damage output and consistency.

In the end, since there's really no proven way of determining what is best, experiment and go for what seems to work best for you.

I will say this, though. Since we have the ability in raid to set up multiple lines, I do recommend using as many raid cards as possible when performing a full-scale attack. While in standard attacks, it's nice to have consistency, full-scale gives you one chance to have your raiders activate as you burn a full atk bar. So, if you only have a few raid cards in there, and none of them activate, congratulations:  You have just burned a pp and have done minimum possible damage (not counting the full-scale bonus). So, yeah, for full-scale, I highly recommend as many raid cards as possible. Other than that, personal preference. :)
