Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
My best lead was a CalmMind/Psychic/Thunderbolt/GrassKnot Jirachi. But I found him extremely cheap to use. I also had a Tauros for a few days that worked okay.
I'm terrible with choosing good, non-legend starters.
Houndoom. He's always been one of my favorites, but no one seems to use him. He can really raise some hell though with amazing speed and special attack. Alot of people seem to have Heracross and Skarmory problems, and both I find extremely easy to deal with because of Houndoom.
How long does it usually take you guys to finalize a good team?
I've been constructing an all-dog team, which was doing okay at first, but every time I make a change the team gets worse o_O
A few questions about Hitmonlee.
Serebii says that his ability Reckless increases the power of Return and Reversal.
Marriland says that Reckless increases the power of his recoil moves.
However, Hitmonlee has no recoil moves. Unless Close Combat's stat drops are considered recoil...
