Executive summary:
Mage and Druid are probably the classes having the least stress involved. Go with Druid.
TL;DR:
No melees qualify because you can't bind near your potential death spots. This alone is stressful.
Wizard is boring and nobody wants them in groups. Soloing post 40 involves quadding which gets old after about 5 minutes.
Enchanter is better suited for power-user player types who are ready to commit quite a bit of time / mental energy to EQ.
Cleric is boring af.
This leaves necro, shaman, druid and mage.
All 4 are fun classes. Druid is probably the least stressful because of so much utility (ports, sow, evac, invis), but has a much lower power ceiling than shaman/necro at high levels. Mage also has a pretty low solo ability later on, no ports or heals, unwanted in groups and has an impossible epic.
For a new player I recommend Druid because you can make easy cash by porting people around. Also there's no better class to discover the world of Norrath. Mage is a decent second pick because it's so straightforward and having a pet is fun.
Necro / shaman also great choices but the classes are a little more complex to master even though the rewards at the higher levels will be much greater.
