I think Armen's made a number of good points - I too would lean towards backstabbing options if going with the F/M/T, even though you don't seem to be into it much.
You already have a good grasp of the various weapons in the game, so it largely boils down to a personal preference thing as there are only a few poor choices. I would start with dual weild in Scimitars (Belm and possibly Usuno) and Katanas (CF and Zerth), and swap in the Tuigan Bow, Mace of Disruption, Arbane's Sword, or whatever 'special feature' weapon needed at the time. Crom Fayer and Blackrazor are a couple to bear in mind for later on.
While I think that the F/M/T is the best solo for a first-timer, if you're not planning to backstab I might suggest a Fighter/Mage multiclass as an alternative, and use Stoneskin and Mirror Image to trip traps, and Knock on locks. Just a thought.
Generally with solos, it's good to plan for equipment collection and pursue the necessary quests as soon as practicable. If you intend to dual class (e.g. Berserker-Mage), make sure you leave easy XP quests (e.g. Skinner Murders, Buried Alive, Wellyn, Risa, Madulf, etc.) for quick level ups of the second class.
