They are all pretty much the same until about 45+, the gear will matter more than the class i.e. Fungi, venomous axe/velium crystal staff, haste item...turn on auto attack, be virtually invincible.

Beyond that Monk will shine the most as they have the best combo of DPS, damage mitigation, mobility, and tools to split up camps. Hybrids right behind them for similar reasons. Warriors are obviously beefy boys and can take hits a long time, not as ideal for some camps. Rogues start to get to a place where you either have to focus on green mobs, significantly boost your twinkage, or both to solo at the higher levels (can still solo to 60 just gets a bit rough)

P.S. Don't forget clerics, I twinked one with a fungi, VCS, and full velious armor and he could melee tank all the way to 50+ (although a lot more of the DPS comes from spells versus melee at the higher end of that range). Also if you are doing no twinking or have a very small budget (no fungi, etc) then I would highly recommend bard. Essentially has all the tools of the other classes combined and not really gear dependent at all, can transition away from melee at the higher end (can transition at the low end too I just assume OP wants some hack and slash gameplay).
