Druids are lots of fun, probably the best newbie class. Great mobility with sow and ports. Can tank through the teens. Has access to all the tactics of any magic-using class: charm, root-rotting, quadding, nuking. Minimal gear requirements; just need a fire beetle eye. Great class to explore Norrath for the first time and figure out what playstyle you prefer. Easy way to make decently mediocre money (porting) when you don't know about any of the good cash camps yet. Has the best buffs for running around newbie zones and buffing people: Skin, sow, regen, thorns. Tracking is fantastic QoL.
I just can't make the case for "best all-around" simply because their power drops off so heavily in the 50s, though.
