If you are starting out.... start with the Heavy Weapons or engineer (Heavy weapons is easiest and you learn quicker for battles) to get a feel for the game. The best if you can use them well are soldier, spy, and pyro.
A strategy that I use is become a spy get in as far as you can and destroy the sg's with your grenades and take out as many people you can then choose the soldier and wipe the rest out and get the flag
