Assuming green follows the proper timeline, I'd prioritize a class that 1) you would enjoy playing in classic era followed by 2)you would enjoy in kunark/velious era. I don't think theres too much of a change between kunark/velious for most classes...maybe ranger is a little better, wizard worse, but for the most part the big change is classic to kunark. If you're creating a character in classic, it's most likely you'll spend most of your time on that char in classic. I wouldn't create a char simply because they'd be OP later on in the timeline, theres a good chance you might not even be playing much by the time that rolls around.
From your "probably nots" some of those classes might be more versatile than you're used to in classic era. Stuns/heals/blind from pally will be useful in group, as Videri said cleric is versatile as well. Wizard being able to DPS will be more important due to awful classic ratio weaps, and groups are probably going to have more downtime anyway.
