I like the following for variety and fun right off the bat:
Guork fighter (male) - go for Barbarian immediately
Whiskas fighter (male) - go for Ranger immediately
Dwarf priest (female) - go for Paladin once you get the higher Spirit spells
Oophaz wizard (femlae) - go for Warlock after getting Sun spells
Ratling thief (female)
Elf wizard (female) - go for Warlock after getting Stone spells
in that order. This protects the low HP guys. You could also try a gnome thief, but I really like the extra gold from the ratling. Also a pixie wizard is fun but the low HP and carrying capacity make it tough. Finally you could swap out the Guork fighter for a human fighter. I'd keep the Whiskah though since when your first play ngiht-vision is pretty important.
You can also convert the spellcasters to Warlock immediately if you want. Personally I like to level about 5-6 times, and then switch, since getting 5-6 levels in the early going is really easy. Hence you can effectively get 12 levels for the price of about 8. This goes for the other characters too if you have the patience.
Make sure to think about the role change when rolling up, since you can get stuck for many, many levels if you don't plan the stats. Also I like to shoot for 70 stat points total when rolling (and nothing below 5).
