Ray, all of my units will be three stands (50x50mm) of 5-6 models, but will count as 18 for game purposes. Occasionally I might even end up with a stand of four models if I've modeled some particular vignette or additional bit of scenery (example coming up this weekend) - but they will still count as 6 for game purposes. So far, none of my units have included pikes because the Danes didn't have them in Ireland (in fact most of William III's army seemed to lack pikes, save for the English and Irish), but when I get to units that did have pikes, I'll be adding a stand of 5-6 as standard BLB rules.
Right now for Jacobites I am planning:
Foot Guards (2 battalions, each of 3 stands of muskets +1 rear stand of pikes)
Antrim's (1 battalion, 3 stands all musket)
Clanrickarde's (1 battalion, 3 stands with the central being pike)*
Boisseleau's (2 battalions, same as Clanrickarde's)*
* count as two stands for musketry, but gain a bonus in melee
This might change, but that's what I have on paper for my initial infantry goal. When I reach that goal, I'll look at expanding my force with a small French brigade (maybe only for 'what if' scenarios, but Zurlaben will certainly be on that list) and some of the dreadfully armed all pike units that may have taken the field during the early phase of the war.
For my Williamites -
Dutch
Gardes te Voet (3 battalions)
Brandenburg
Nassau-Saarbrucken-Ottweiler
Danish
Garden til Fods
Sjaellandske
Jydske
Fyske
Huguenot
De la Meloniere
Caillemotte
Cambon
English
Sir John Hanmer (the only Williamite unit on this list with pikes)
