Hi JPate1, Welcome to the board
It all depends which kind of game you like to play. You can play all races in all roles and it will all work out in the end.
Soloist usually start with a mage to get the stone spells. One caution, if you have a thief in your party, his development will limited in the early game. You can achieve all that the thief does by upgrading a fighter to a paladin.
The trick is to decide where you want your characters to go. Plan ahead. For exemple, if you want a fighter to become a barbarian, you will try to create a character with 12 in both strenght and fortitude so that you can change early.
Remember that you cannot go back to previous roles.
One final advice, check out the best tips tread, it gives you tons of tricks on how to create a good party.
Have fun.
