The classic approach in putting together a cheese board is to aim for a contrast of textures, tastes and shapes. Mild to strong, rounds and wedges, light against dark, soft and hard it's about making an aesthetic impact as much as a gustatory one.
A classic cheese board will contain a cheese from one of each of the main styles. You can obviously leave out any you don't like or which you think will not go down well with your guests (washed-rind cheeses being the most likely candidates) but you should try to make sure there's something for everyone.
