Choosing a class for your main character depends on your own personality. If you're a hack-and-slash type, take a fighter (or Paladin or Ranger). If you are more spell-friendly, then mage orcleric

If you are new to the Baldur's Gate series I do recommend a fighter tho. I think it's easier to learn this game in hack mode. If you are a fighter you'll want to keep at least 2 mage NPCs like Aerie, Nalia, or Jan in the group. If you play a mage or cleric type, have at least 2 tanks (fighters who can beat the brunt of physical damage) like Minsc, Keldorn, Valygar, Mazzy. Regardless I think Jaheira is a must - she gives you a tank with spell capability (being a fighter/druid).
