I second Caitlin . If you have only one combination time available go for
NVDA with firefox on Windows. As others rightly pointed JAWS try guessing
and provide accurate information to the user overwriting the source code.
For second combination if you have time and client requests JAWS and IE on
windows.
For mobile Safari and Voiceover for IOS and Talkback and firefox on
Android. I see very good accessibility support on Chrome on Android but
have not really checked any website.

Hope this helps.
