Hi Nobuko-san! I never really knew that "au" had so many different choices!! Thank you for teaching me! :D
「友だちに会う」と「友だちと会う」とどちらがいいですか。どちらがいいじゃないか。
どっちもＯＫ。
友だちに会う = emphasizes "you" are meeting your friend
友だちと会う = "sort of" implies your friend is also making some effort to meet you; it also feels like the 友だちと part is emphasized a little bit here rather than who (you) is meeting your friend.
It might be just my thing... I don't think it's even explained or defined in official publications. It kind of makes sense, though when I think about which one people tend to use under certain circumstances. For example....
さっき友だちと会ってきた！
= kind of sounds like both you and your friend came out to somewhere to meet
さっき友だちに会（いに行）ってきた。
= this is more suitable if you are trying to say you made some effort to go see your friend
