Think about the relative skill of your PCs and base it off that. You can tweak it as you go too. Some players are tactically sound thinkers. Others aren't at all. There are a few basic ideas you want to think about though. If the enemy NPCs have the same skill levels as your PCs you'll have a longer fight. The damage ratio is d6 per 3 DR (it'll wound a bit if they miss a defense roll, which is what you want). Use the mook rules.

Don't even bother. Just write down a few stats on a piece of paper before the game... or have it in your head and don't write anything down at all. Just know what you want them to do and don't worry about how much it costs.
