I prefer to use the Wood Elf for most of my characters. It has the longest movement 10.5m/move, Darkvision, Elf Weapons, Perception & Stealth. All of which are useful for pretty much any and all classes.
As to the classes, I've played them all, but enjoy playing the Warlock, Ranger, and Rogue the most (in that order).
While a Wood Elf (Fiend) Warlock is playable, the Half Drow with the +2 Charisma allows you to start with Charisma at 16, and the Half Drow's 'Dancing Lights' cantrip allows your companions to see/attack better.
If you play a Warlock, being a Fiend Warlock has the added benefit of being healed by 'The Dark One's Blessing' with most of your kills.
I enjoy playing the Warlock the most because it's Eldritch Blast cantrip is awesome, and has unlimited uses. Combined with Repelling Blast at level 2, and the Fiend's self-heal, it's hard not to love.
If you play a Ranger, starting as a Bounty Hunter & Urban Tracker have helped me the most.
The Ranger can be played as a Fighter/Cleric or as a Rogue/Cleric which gives tons of flexibility in gameplay.
The Rogue benefits the most from being a Wood Elf, and opens a lot of options for your skills & backgrounds.
The Rogue has been my go to class since the TSR days of Pool of Radiance. I am hoping that BG3 will eventually add Guild Halls and secret quests that have always made it a fun class to play.
Good Luck, & Have Fun!
