Wizard - really slow leveling solo until you can quad kite (34?). You can always jump into groups before that and nuke once per mob. At higher levels you can quad, teleport, and raids love you. AE groups love you, regular groups will put up with you if you're a friend.
Shaman - slow leveling solo until 29-34. Around 29 is when you shine in groups. Groups love you up to 60. Soloing isn't fantastic until epic and/or fungi, torpor, etc. But they're not terrible leveling solo. Raids like you for buffs, but too many Shamans and you'll feel a little like a third wheel.
Enchanter - boring on raids. Awesome at everything else. Groups love you. Groups even love two of you if you both can charm (or one CC one charm).
Monk - you don't need much gear early on. You can solo decently (worse than the other three suggestions). Groups love you. Raids love you. High melee dps is always stackable.
