The same goes for classes. If you enjoy a melee class, then choose a few of them and try them out. There is no "best" class, because if there were, then everybody would be playing it and then you're going to have an issue getting groups. In fact, if there was a "best class" scenario, then you'd be much better off picking anything but that class cause you'd always be in demand.
To an extent the same can be said about end game raiding if that was where you were going with this. But, with a kicker. If there is a certain class that has an advantage; there's no guarantee that the developers don't implement some sort of balancing by the time you reach end game.
Play the class that is most appealing and most fun for you. You have 7 character slots so roll 7 different classes and try them all out up to level 20 or 30. By then you'll have a good feel for which you enjoy the most. Don't be so quick to delete those other toons though as it might be worth your while to level them all up eventually. Then you're guaranteed a slot in a group/raid because filling that vacant slot no matter which class they need is just a /camp <character name> away. :)
I realize its human nature to go to forums and ask for advice. That's what we're here for after all. But asking which class you should play is like asking your high school counselor what you should do when you grow up and you might wind up a pig farmer or sanitary engineer. ;)
Plus.. with 24 different classes.. you're only going to get 24 different opinions about which class is the "best". Cause each player has their own ideas about what makes their class the "best". :)
