I like Paladins, but a multiclassed Ranger/Rogue would probably be a good choice for your 4 person party. A Ranger/Rogue wearing light armor would get ambidexterity/2-weapon fighting for free.

I'd suggest the sorceror if you're comfortable picking the proper spells. The one negative that a sorc has compared to a wizzy is that your normal wizard will get tons of skill points to dump into those wizard type skills and this means that a wizard with a high arcane knowledge is able to ID almost every item without going to a merchant or casting an ID spell. sorcs get far fewer skill points and those skill points usually need to be dumped into concentration and diplomacy. Sorc's do make great party talkers, due to their necessarily high CHA's.

Wizards seem like the safer choice. But a sorceror with a well chosen collection of spells can kick some serious a$$. Doesn't hurt to select your feats carefully as well.
