As a first character, your only two choices really are SK or Paladin if you'd like to be the designated group tank. Deciding between the two comes down to what you think is cooler. I'd give the edge to SK as they solo a bit better and can Feign Death...but if you like the pally archetype better then by all means...its a great class.
Warrior is way too gear dependent. If you roll a SK / Pally and really fall in love with the game and are certain you want to be the best possible class for the super end game, then re-roll warrior later.
Coming from WoW...you have to understand that the pace of EQ is going to feel agonizingly-slow. I played vanilla through wotlk as a top end raider and hopped onto P99 never having played EQ before. It was quite the learning curve...but you couldn't pay me to go back to WoW now.
Just always keep the wiki open. Look up stuff like zone maps, guides, etc. Be social and don't be afraid to ask your group mates questions.
