New Duo looking for class suggestions

[Stratos]

I played EQ for about 3 years back in 99/2001 and mostly played a Paladin. I also had a Cleric, Wizard, and Necro. I loved the Paladin and never got to get my Epic that I always wanted, but I realize in the high end Paladins are kinda Meh for raiding. My wife will likely play a Druid and I was thinking about maybe a Bard because I always enjoyed having Bards in my group.

Should we go Paly\Druid or Bard\Druid?
