How to make a balanced game

A lot of the people playing mafia have also modded games(not mini) and had to come up with a way to balance them. How do you know when you put in too may evil people? how abou too many beneficial roles? what about cult-like things, where they have the chance to gain more people?

all you experienced mods: what distribution of roles would you use if you had 20 people? 25? 30? 1 maf family? 2 maf families?
and once you've decided, how can you be pretty sure it's balanced?
