What is the optimal gym defender lineup?
You can use any of the defenders listed in the Gym Defender Tier List (https://pokemongo.gamepress.gg/gym-defenders-tier-list). Choose 6, and then arrange them in an order to make the gym defender lineup optimal.
By "optimal" I mean maximizing the [minimum time to full clear]; that is, with the given defender lineup, any attacker lineup (single player) must use at least that much time to clear the gym.
Factors to consider:
1. Individual defender's strength;
2. Force switching;
3. Team selection time
What is your ideal defender lineup?

Valot made the following lineup when defending mewtwo raid
Blissey zh/dg
Chansey zh/dg
Wobuffet c/mc
Snorlax zh/hs
Wigglytuff p/pr
(There wasnt 6th defender untill 20min left and it was shiny gyra)
Wigglytuff threw most of times us off guard with pr and forced us to heal our sweepers.
I'd have used confusion exeggutor since most battles lasted under 10s. More than enough for landing hard hitting conf.
Chensey zh/DG - Machamp
Vaporeon AT- switch to exe, hopefully from hanitude you will dodge ATs, maybe by double jump
Dragonite dt/ou - switch to Dragonite, dodge a lot (better dc for defender, but is very rare)
blissey zh/dg - swith to machamp or dodge a lot
Snorlax - zh/ hb - hopefully you will start to dodge hb at start :)
Gya - dt/twister - dodge twister or eat some
This is how I would attack this gym:
1: Use Machamp for Chansey, continue using Machamp for Vaporeon.
2: Switch to L/BS Snorlax if my Machamp faints. Continue using the Snorlax for the Dragonite.
3: Switch to another Machamp for Blissey and Snorlax. B/SE Tyranitar if Machamp faints.
4: Continue using Tyranitar for Gyarados.
