It really depends on your play style. If you like to be grped or alone when playing...if you like to be a support or a more key class role.
How important is it to you to be "useful" to your friends and groups is probably the most important question someone new to playing EQ should ask. EQ isn't balanced and, while all the classes can be useful and fun to play, there are some that definitely shine in this regard.
If the mechanics of the game seem too much for you you might try one of the simpler classes first to get your bearings in the world and make some friends or join a guild.
