Help deciding on class

Ok, so with classic launching in a few hours I really need to try to nail down a class. I won't be hardcore spending time in classic, so I feel like it's important for me to try to focus on one character. I'm trying to pick a character off a mixture of everything, but quality of life is definitely up there. I plan to PvP and PvE.

First up is mage. This was my first planned choice. They seem really good in PvP if you can get skilled and react to everything/predict properly. Good PvE too. Lots of quality of life stuff, like food and portals. Downsides being that I doubt my ability to play PvP mage at it's potential and the leveling is meh.

Warlock. Automatic downside for having to farm soul shards. Nice free mount at 40 and epic quest mount. Cool quests in general and honestly one of the best "themes" back in the day. Can slap in PvP, especially once we get to later phases. Easy leveling with drains and life tap. Dot cap for PvE is frustrating.

Rogue. Stealth, stun lock, kill. Seems like the most fun solo PvP class but doesn't bring nearly as much to PvE. Melee leveling classes almost universally are a bit painful and bandage heavy.

Paladin. Like the idea of HPal in both PvE and PvP. Not sure how I feel about ret leveling. Is it slow? Seems like it. But can I just throw on my huge backlog of Hulu/Netflix while I grind and sustain? Sure can. Judgement is the best visual tier set in the game. Bubble+hearth. Only downside is that I don't really think ret ever becomes a viable PvP option in these classic phases, so this is probably always going to have to be a healer.

Hunter. Was my main in classic. Rhok'delar quest is awesome. Pets make leveling ez mode and pets are surprisingly sick to put on casters in PvP. Downsides being the worst quality of life, imo. Have to craft arrows and dedicate loads of bag space for them. Have to feed pet (and potentially farm the food). Ranged deadzone. Clunky melee moves that have to be on your bar but rarely used.

​

Other info: going to be playing Alliance on the RP-PVP server, so I will need to be prepared for world pvp and I cannot use horde racials to offset some downsides (like making undead melee so that you can cannibalize to speed up downtime after mobs). I have a few friends playing but we aren't making coordinated effort to static and who knows if we'll ever hit 60.
