I've always liked Rogues myself. They're good for the early game if you use them well, but crap later on because everyone and their mother seems immune to Sneak Attack. You'll most like get up to a 10d6 damage bonus for Sneak Attack later on; That's nothing to sneer at. However, you have to be careful not to use him as a tank. He won't soak up damage, but run around and backstab people.

I've been using a Cleric, Sorcerer, Fighter/Barbarian, and Rogue. Sorcerers, IMO, are better than Mages because of two facts; there aren't that many spell scrolls in the game, and there really aren't that many decent spells per level, so you can easily choose the five best. Dwarven Fighter/Barbarian rocks as a tank/damage dealer, and the Cleric provides some battle support/healing ability.
