Okay, I'm not an end-game type of guy. I like to experience a little bit of everything. I have 8 characters I'm playing. I'll probably play all of them to 15 (I've got almost all to 10 already), then pick 4 and take them to 25, pick 2 to take to 35 and then I'll know my favorite.
So here's what I have:
Night Elf Druid
Troll Hunter
Gnome Mage
Dwarf Paladin
Human Priest
Orc Rogue
Undead Warlock
Tauren Warrior
Now, I've seen this at worldofwarcraft.com
4.3 Which professions are a good complement to my class?
Druid - Skining/Leatherwork
Hunter - Skining/Leatherwork or Mining/Engineering
Mage - Tailoring/Enchanting or Skining/Tailoring
Paladin - Mining/Blacksmithing
Priest - Tailoring/Enchanting or Skining/Tailoring
Rogue - Hebalism/Alchemy or Skining/Leatherwork
Warlock - Tailoring/Enchanting or Skining/Tailoring
Warrior - Mining/Blacksmithing
But here's my question. For those of you that have a lot of experience with professions:
A) I want to play with certainly all of the professions.
B) But I also want to match up the professions to these characters in the way that makes most sense.
Can you help me out?

I'd put mining engineering on the hunter. That way you can make your own guns and scopes. I'd also put tailoring/enchanting on 1 char- that way you can use tailoring to make items and then disenchant them for components. That would make sense on any cloth caster.
Herbalism/alchemy makes sense on anyone, its a pretty universal need.
One question to ask is if you want to take all specializations? For example, leather is tribal, elemental, and dragonscale. Blacksmithing is armor and weapon. Engineering is gnomish and goblin.
If so, I'd probably go
druid- tribal leather
hunter- engineering (either one)
paladin- armorsmith
warrior- weaponsmith
rogue- elemental leather
mage- tailor/enchant
warlock- herbalism/alchemy
priest- engineering (the other one)
shaman- dragonscale leather (yeah, I know you don't have shaman on the list- but this is what makes the most sense with it)
If not, I'd take the priest and rogue and make them dual gatherers. One skin/mine, one herbalism/mine. Double the mining since both smithing and engineering needs metal.

I would have to recommend you put the hunter and rogue on the gathering professions. They will do more soloing and kill much faster, making for easy gathering. Also, helps if the gatherers are the highest levels. It's easy to skillup if you have the materials.
In addition to the two gatherers, i would suggest one character be a blacksmith/leathercrafter, and another be a tailor/enchantor. Just try to pick your two favorite to play, you will need to level them to do their job.
Basically you'd be severely limited once your characters start needing to hit the level caps. Getting everyone to 20 so you can break the 150 cap would be quite a chore. but looks like that is your goal.
Getting them all to 35 to break the 225 cap would take quite some time.
Good luck! Sounds like fun! I hope you don't get burned out.

and make sure to pick up First Aid, Fishing and Cooking early on with all characters.. some view these skills as mundane, but when you can't go wrong making your own healing foods and bandages as well as have something to do while waiting for boats etc. Most fish sell well to vendors and if there are good recipes they sell well in the AH for other people looking to raise skill but not having time to gather all their own resources.

I was somewhat in the same position as you, but I have two accounts. All my primary characters are Tauren Hunters. On one account I have my main which is Mining/Skinning and other gatherer alts. The other account has my producer characters; a BlackSmith/Tailor and a LeatherCrafter/Alchemist. Both accounts have other characters I've experimented with and have put on hold, a couple with HerbGathering.
I found out early that I both liked the Tauren Hunter and found that it was much easier to level a character in an area I was familiar with and was comfortable playing in. My main is 35 now and my producer alts are 21-22. I find that playing the producer alts once a week for a couple of hours is about all that is required to move them up toward level 35. I always park them in a major city or an Inn and let them accumulate the "rested bonus" so that when I do play them, I get double exp. If parked there for a week, I can get a level and a half or so. When I break them out Saturday, I pretty much know exactly where they need to go and what mobs to grind on. Its boring, but relatively painless and Very important to get your producers to level 20 and then work toward 35 whenever possible.
Since my main is the gather and the explorer, by the time I need to move my alts to a new place to grind some exp, I'm fully familiar with the area, its mobs and quests. The second and third time grinding exp thru an area isn't as bad as it sounds.
I have now brought another Tauren Hunter thru the mid teens and will assign him two of the remaining skills as soon as I decide which ones are most important to my needs and style of play. While bringing up alts, I usually work with gathering skills then switch to a production skill mid teen level somewhere.
I also found it most important to work tailoring and leathercraft first. Tailoring makes bags for all those alts and leathercraft make armor for the early teenage toons. Learn to use the "postal" system. Most Inns in outposts and such have a mail box. You can send stuff from your gatherer to an alt producer and save the trip and loss of time. 30sp is a pitance past level 10 or so. I also keep an alt in the bank in Orgrimmer. I mail him all my green loots. This alt then posts the equipment items in the AH. Items that dont sell after two attemtpts, go to a vendor. As you level up your producers, you will start to find that money needs increase. Manage it wisely.
