Hello and welcome, Jarlax!
Sorcerers are lots of fun and can be the most powerful characters in the game, BUT only for players who know the D&D magic system inside and out. If you're inexperienced, I recommend multi-class Fighter/Mages, or Conjurers, or Fighters dualed to plain Mages --- Berserkers make good Mage kindling.
Clerics: the Priest of Helm has the best special abilities (True Sight totally rocks, and frees up your 5th level spell slot for something else), but Priests of Helm must be neutral, and I think that good priests get a bonus when turning undead. Priests of Lathander are nice; nothing special IMHO. Priests of Talos are underrated because few people appreciate the joy of lightning. All priests (and Druids, of course) have access to the spell Protection from Lightning. That spell allows you to throw bolts with impunity, and having a rebounding bolt of lightning in a confined space will quickly destroy even the toughest non-immune foe --- including the big baddies, like Dragons. But even granted that, Priests of Helm are better.
Priest dualed to Mage can be great. You get better weapon selection and you can wear a shield and helmet.
Be sure to let us know what you decide on and how it goes!
