I personally prefer having a mix of ranged and melee. Melee is simple to use, does a TON of damage, and can be used constantly with no worry about having to stop. Ranged can pick off enemies before they get close and is extremely useful for bosses and stuff like that, but has limited ammo and doesn't quite match the damage output Melee can produce (unless you count the star cannon/Megashark). I tend to stay away from magic though, not from a personal dislike, but from its inability to be able to CONSTANTLY deal damage. It's good if you want to periodically nuke an enemy though, and can be used to get a boss or a mob hit up enough to be able to easily finish them off. Overall, I'd say it depends on the situation, but in the end it only depends on your preferances.
