For a smoother experience, I'd recommend a first character who can earn money and can do a little of everything - just so you can prepare yourself for playing another class if you feel like it.
Druids are a great first class. You can earn money through porting people, they can travel easily (so you can familarize yourself with the zones again) and they do a little of everything (so you can discover what you really like to do)
Enchanters, Shamans, Necromancers, Bards and Druids are typically the solo classes but are also crucial in groups.
Enchanters and Shamans are awesome in groups but it seems they are everywhere so I wouldn't say they are in demand exactly. Clerics are always in demand. Tanks can be in demand at certain points, as well as Melee DPS like Rogues.
A lot of people will first play a money making class (anyone who can solo great/port people) and then invest a good amount of money into a melee character alt. Melee characters benefit the most by having good gear.
