Early game: knights and pawns, Q counters a knight-only early game so pawns are required. Bishops and q are actually better but you’ll be missing them if you lose them by mid game usually making n and p de facto
Mid game: highly contextual but let’s say position is most important and the pieces used are irrelevant
End game: q, r, k, b, n and pawns in that order. N and pawns are probably tied given you're lucky to have one n end game, and are practically guaranteed to have 3+ pawns.
