Returning to EQ after 15 Years, and could use some advice.

Shortage classes - none really. Clerics, rogues and wizards are still needed for raiding, just like in 2003 when you quit, because they stack beautifully.

Go through the list of classes and races, and select whatever gets your EQ gene pulsating, then just go with it. There's literally no class that will make you really needed, everyone has 20 level 60 alts they can log in.

Play whatever you think is going to be fun, maybe something you never tried, like a bard or an SK.
