I rolled a cleric for my first character, was loved by many. Always found a group quickly, never had much of an issue staring at health bars etc.
Burnt out in the 50s though, didn't enjoy it like I thought I would.
Definitely follow Atmas' advice, play something you'll enjoy. If running around is your thing, pick a melee/tank type character. Or if you want to just sit down and press buttons, a caster might be more for you.
Do what a lot of people do.... try everything eventually
