I agree with DNQ that its good to have drivers that compliment each other.
And it's such a fine choice to make.
Developing teams often opt for an experienced and proven driver being teamed with a potential young winner. So that while the former leads the team in developement and improving the quality of the car, the latter is groomed for the future. For example Toyota with Panis and da Matta.
The outright poor teams would usually get a cheap (if not free or paid for) and fast driver with some experience with a young newcomer with loads of cash. While the latter provides cash for developement, the former is depended to get the results. Jordan springs to mind, also Minardi
