Like FGOHikaru said, I think your best choices are Assassin and Caster. In the Assassin class you have Jack the Reaper, one of the most useful characters during events (that extra damage against female enemies can burst even those who aren't Rider). Also, Hikaru was right maybe you can earn three classes (or at least two, 5 Assassin and 4 Avenger). In the Caster class you have one of the two best supports in the game, Waver (the second one being Merlin, a limited Servant).

However, unlike Hikaru I would said that the Berserker class is also useful. There are three 5 Berserkers: Cu Chulainn Alter (he can deal a HUGE amount of damage and, unlike other berserkers, survive to keep doing it), Nightingale (an hybrid between DPS and support, she can deal a decent amount of damage and also support your team) and Vlad (I don't know anything about him or how to use it, but many good players said he is useful).

You need to think two questions:

1) Between Assassin, Caster and Berserker (or Assassin and Caster) think what class have more Servants that you like (in example, maybe you only like 1 Assassin, 1 Caster, but 2 Berserkers, so inside the Berserker class you have better options).

2) Each class have different objectives. In the Caster class you can obtain Waver, Tamamo or Xuanzang; it's a support class (except Xuanzang, she is somewhat support, somewhat damage dealer). If you want someone supporting your team, they are your option. Inside the Berserker class you have raw damage; they aren't going to be useful against bosses (except Cu Chulainn, I think he can survive long enough to be useful), and usually you are going to use them to farm (and believe me, you will farm A LOT in Fate/Grand Order).  Assassin is about damage too, but not as much as berserker, they are more aimed against bosses.
