Hi and welcome to the board!!
It is probably most enjoyable to play using a human, elf or half-elf character. This lets you have romance storylines with some of the NPCs. The best class depends on your preference really but some suggestions for each of the major classes:
If Paladin play Cavalier: very tough with lots of combat bonuses against oft encountered Baddies,
If Ranger play Archer: Pretty fun to play with as you can control the outcome of fights with your bow
Cleric: your preference based on the alignment you like to play with
Thief: Never tried one. Swashbucklers look OK I guess
Bard: Skalds are pretty cool.
Mage: If you have the Throne of Bhaal expansion play as a Wild Mage, if not a conjurer or envoker.
Fighter: DON'T play as a Wizard Slayer the others are OK
Hope this is useful
