imo - start a cleric, level solo when you have to (incredibly easy to hit 51 on red as a solo cleric in a few weeks casual play) and group when you can (even easier xp).
By the time you hit 50 you will have max defense and channeling which will save your butt a couple times in your lvl 60 play time, and every guild will want you if you arent a dick.
Most guilds will gear you out with hand me downs as a cleric, and if you have a primary alt will allow you to roll for your alt gear instead of rolling for cleric drops. Ive given away about 4 full cleric epics to random guildmates over time, and i believe most folks do the same today.
Pretty sweet gig
*edit* you do need a springwood club to solo efficiently until 39
