Avoid combinations like pastrami and baguette. That could get you kicked out of most delis faster than asking for mayo.
ETA: As Sidd notes, gruyere also works with baguettes.

I disagree that baguettes have any redeeming qualities as sandwhich bread. It isn't a question of flavors. It is that the bread is hard, crusty, and difficult to bite into and inferior to nearly all other sandwich bread options. If you're in France, fine, you might not have much of a choice. Here in America, a land of bread plenty, there is no reason to go with the baguette other than sheer folly.
