Here is a list of the best resource combos in the game, also known as trade rings. These all assume that you already have a Harbor, and your last trade slot. For your convenience, I have named the types in a very original fashion. If you have the resources to do so, try to get a Type A setup. It is definitely the best. Types B and C are variants of A. If you're not one of the lucky ones, then compare the ones that have your resources and decide which one you would prefer.
Type A
Water, Wheat, Aluminum, Lumber, Marble, Iron, Fish, Cattle, Sugar, Pigs, Spices, Gems
Bonus: Beer, Construction, Fast Food
Pop/Infra (Most Favorable Set)
Type B
Water, Wheat, Aluminum, Lumber, Marble, Iron, Fish, Cattle, Sugar, Pigs, Spices, Wine
Bonus: Beer, Construction, Fast Food
Pop/Infra (A type with Wine)
Type C

No one loves you.
They're just pretending to be nice. But they talk bad about you after you leave the room.
You're gonna die alone.

Yeah, I think that's about the best you can do with those fantastic resources. As for finding people to trade with, the best way to do it is just to use the ingame search function for resources, and spam people on your color with the resources you need.
You can also try to see if you can start up or join a trade ring here in the trade forum.
