So, assuming we will get the same class options we've seen in the original trilogy, which class are you going to choose for your first playthrough?
I'm a fan of Vanguard, but I might begin with Soldier - it will be probably the easiest class to handle. If there are some new combat mechanics, I will simply shoot until I learn how to use them properly.
Of course, we don't know whether or not is the class system making return, there were some speculations about skilltree system. Still, many people will probably work with Soldier, Infiltrator, etc. archetypes from the original trilogy, so let's stick for that in the poll.

Sentinel probably. Tech armor is the best.

All of them.
I'll probably go Sentinel first, provided its still versatile.
If not, Vanguard.

Depends.. if the old weaponrestrictions are back (oh god, I hope not), it is going to be soldier because I want to try out as many guns possible on my first playthrough. Otherwise: Infiltrator (my favourite) or Sentinel (my last shepard I finished a few days ago was my first time as a sentinel.. and I loved it).

I enjoyed the Vanguard class, and will probably go with something similar in MEA. I am curious if the classes will be the same, or if they will expand on them. So exciting 8-) .

Soldier. In every singe type of game like this... when ever there is a class option.. I always pick soldier. I like to get a feel for the game before I start really getting into using powers or magic or stuff like that.

I can't say for sure unless I know how much they changed the class system. Assuming it's like ME3 (I doubt it'll be the same) I'll go for Vanguard or Infiltrator.

First playtrough is always biotic. I always pick "mage"-likes first. Unless it's TES/Fallout - there I always end up as rogue / stealth character.

I'm hoping to play the Adept first for once if they have improved on it significantly from ME3. I’ve got no interest in replaying this class again if it's largely unchanged so we will see.
My main gripe with the current incarnation of the Adept class is that the power selections made sense mechanically in the context of ME2 at a time when all of these powers were new and your options were limited but after two games I’ve basically reached saturation point with the vanilla class as it stands. I understand there are balancing concerns and considerations for unfamiliar new players but at this point there are simply far too many better alternatives locked away as bonus powers and if this continues it would make the adept class feel horribly outmoded and stifling.
In order to overcome these limitations whatever solution framework they come up with has got to incorporate some degree of user experimentation for veteran players in a balanced and user-intuitive way for newcomers. A solution I’ve described before which I hope they come up with themselves is to assign each class power to a designated type of slot. The default powers in each slot are the vanilla ones and as the user unlocks more for each slot they can switch the active slot power(s) in the ship med-bay or combat-training area. For example:
Primary slot: Singularity, Dark Sphere, Annihilation Field Primer slot: Warp, Reave, Dark Channel Detonator slot: Throw, Shockwave, Lash*, Slam, Biotic Orbs Crowd Control slot: Pull, Stasis, Lash*, Slash Direct Damage slot: Cluster Grenades, Flare, Lift Grenade, Smash Utility slot**: Barrier, Biotic Focus, Warp Ammo, Biotic Sphere Bonus Power slot: Any
*Only available in 1 active slot at a time **Also available as bonus powers for this class

Adept for the SP campaign - I enjoy shooting and charging stuff, but biotic combos are my favorite. I´ll probably switch around a lot for MP (at least until the Troll Store delivers a card with "Krogan Sentinel" written on it :-))

If there are the same 6 classes, then prolly Sentinel. My favourite trilogy class. And that Tech Armor.
... If there's no Tech Armor (darkest scenario), then Infiltrator. Snipe all the things.

As much as I like playing Vanguard, Adept has been my favourite class since ME2, and unless in MEA it has been FUBAR'd completely, I'll continue with it. I just love how you can blow every enemy up without firing a single shot.

I'm hoping they add more definition to each class type like in ME3MP or add new classes entirely. They say their combat is supposed to be refined and better so who knows what they're going to implement.

Probably soldier first run ...
In MP, Engineers and Adepts are my most frequent choices, followed by Sentinels.
In SP, Sentinels are my favorite, adding Reave as my bonus power.
If it's like ME/ME2/ME3, I'll have a male and female version of each class, doubling up on a favorite class to explore different backstories and LIs.
Lots of runs ... but that was because of ME really capturing my attention.
