My advice: pick whatever class most appeals to you. Everyone I know whose ever picked a class because it seemed fun has enjoyed that class, whereas people that try and pick a class because of other people's opinions often wind up re-rolling.
As for soloing, just about every class
can solo (even Warriors, and Clerics), but the classes that can solo well are generally considered to be: Druid, Shaman, Enchanter, Necromancer, and Magician. Bards and Wizards can solo well once they reach certain levels and can kite. Monks, Rogues, Warriors, Paladins, Shadow Knights, Rangers and Clerics *can* solo, but they all do much better when duoing with someone else.

You'd want one of the "Casual Guilds".

I haven't played on live in awhile, but when I left the class roles were still basically the same here as they were on live. For instance, druids are healers on both servers, it's just that they're more like secondary healers here vs. primary healers on live. If monk is your favorite on live, go for it (they're pretty powerful in this era of EQ).
One caveat about Rangers: they're probably the least popular class here. That doesn't mean they suck, and they're certainly getting better in Velious, but just keep in mind that if you pick them other players will make jokes about how the best thing a ranger can do is take a deathtouch.
