You can use any collective choice of weapons and armor. All that you have to do is have a solid tactic for dodging if you're going melee. Ranged has less of a problem with dodging, though at the same time more of a problem with aim. Mages will likely have an easier time with careful use of the Spectre set and appropriate magical weapons. Everything also depends on the environment you fight Plantera in. If it's a large open space in the underground jungle, I would recommend placing platforms in regular intervals throughout the walls where you will be facing Plantera. These allow you extra points to grapple to if the need arises. (In other words, it gives you escape options assuming your battle space is large enough and your platforms are placed efficiently.)
