The strength of Destiny is that all the classes are really ballanced all around. You can just pick whatever you think looks coolest.
This is an overall description:
Titan: Tankish class. Striker is good for get out of jail free card on PvP. Defender is good for objectives in PvP and extremely useful in end game raids/strikes when you need a break in the middle of boss fights. I'd say Titan's are the most balanced/Spartanish Halo class.
Hunter: I call it the lone wolf class. I think it's the fastest and has 2 great PvP abilities/subclasses. Gunslinger is a oneshot kill on 3 chars. So it is extremely versatile. Bladedancer is a series of one hit kill melee strikes that make you death up close. Overall the weakest class in PvE. Top notch in PvP tho.
Warlock: This might be the best class. In end game it has the best crowd control, cool jumping abilities and sunsinger lets you instantly revive from death. Which is perfect no where how you look at it. The only downfall is that they are squishy as ****.
But really the differences are not that extreme and you should be doing fine with all.
