Honestly if you want to PvE id still suggest red over blue.
Blue has 1200+ players, they use lists for everything. If that sounds like your cup of tea go for it. I wouldn't last an hour there.
Red will allow you to PvE and avoid most PvP if you really want to. If you play a cleric and get into a PvP battle you can probably avoid dying and even be asset to your group. It's honestly amazing anyone gets PvP kills when its so easy as a caster to not die.
Soloing as a cleric will be awful, but I think there's a lot of groups in most brackets at the moment if your patient.
I have a few blue friends who never played red on live, and play here, and none of them will ever go back to blue. Some of them still avoid most pvp, others have excelled at pvp.
I'll give you some plat if you're worried about the xp bonus effecting spells, when I started here it was a bit of an issue. I had to use flame lick up until level 20 something when Roberto, a gentlemen and brave knight of the resistance, gave me plat.
