It depends on what your goals are. If you plan on raiding, you'll need to consider how needed the class is at the high end. For example, regular SK's are not in demand at all for high end raiding, but highly skilled cream of the crop SK's will always be able to get into a top guild. Monks are also extremely common, but it's a lot easier to join a guild as a monk of average skill than it is as an SK of average skill.
If you just want to play the game for a bit of fun, pick whatever class you think you'd enjoy the most. Groups very often need tanks at all levels and SK's can simultaneously tank and pull. Monks are also welcome in most groups.
If you're mostly concerned about grouping then playing a cleric, bard, or enchanter can get you a group almost anywhere. Note that enchanters are a dime a dozen at the high end, but they're always needed for xp groups.
