Shaman/Monk is a classic duo. Can't go wrong with it.

This is a tough combo to beat with how OP this duo is through level 65.
That being said:
Druid is solid 1-50. Beyond that Druids ability to heal and keep the duo efficient drops off a lot. It can be pseudo fixed with solid gear (epic/fungi sort of stuff) but overall, you slow down a lot at 50+ due to lack of efficient Druid healing until Luclin and no slow in a game where slow is extremely OP. Pros being ports, regen, DS, Snares, root CC and SoW. Cons being lack of slow/haste, slower Leveling 50+, no rez.
Shaman is solid 1-60. It isn't much different 1-30 from Druid, around then you'll start to get noticeable benefits from shaman haste. Eventually slows will become more useful to your duo as well. This duo can do the most of any of the monk/priests at max level/Torpor/decent gear. Pros being regen, SoW, slow, Haste, pseudo efficient healer (pre-Torpor). Cons being no Ports, no Rez.
Cleric is an okay choice 1-60. It doesn't have any helpful buffs beyond resist/HP/AC stuff like the other two do. (These buffs help you survive tougher fights - which the other two also have minus symbol - but they don't speed up killing efficiency like DS or Haste would) And pre-Torpor it's the best duo healer (Turgurs+Torpor vs just a Cleric, the shaman will likely win out). Brings ability to Rez and IvU so you can easily explore undead areas. Pros - Baller heals, Rez, IvU, Symbol HPs. Cons - No great utility buffs, no SoW, no Ports.
Casual/Alt-o-holic play style I'd say Druid. Grouping/Farming play style I'd say Shaman. Raiding endgame I'd say go cleric as those are always desired and if you're great at monk pulling you'll be useful as a raider as well. Druid/Shaman raiders aren't that desired unless they really love the class and go all out at it.
