For someone that’s new to LE as a whole, what would be the best class to play?
It doesn’t make much difference when you start. Any class can do the campaign and normal monos easily. It’s only when you try to go to empowered monos that you start noticing some difficulty, but even then all classes can do 300c easily.
So the real answer would be what type of buiild do you want to play. Do you want to play minions, ranged, melee, etc? And even then most classes have most of the archetypes anyway.

Probably a ranged type.
The current hype this season is with Marksman and Heatseeker. Heatseeker is a new skill and people are having fun with it.
So if you want a ranged bow type, Rogue is the way to go.
If you want a spell based ranged type instead, pretty much all classes give you that option, although Mage and Sentinel would fit better for it.
Basically, there are no wrong answers. As long as it seems fun to play, go for it. You’ll always be able to finish the campaign and normal monos with anything you slap together.

Usually I don’t ask myself what type of combat style I want to play, most classes can do most of them anyway, I rather ask what type of class fantasy (flavour, aesthetics, “feel”) I’m after. That is the part where the classes in LE differ the most IMO.
Sure, Sentinel can do spell things but wouldn’t Acolyte (beside Mage) be the more obvious choice when it comes to that?

I considered it, but Acolyte seems to be more geared towards minions and low AoE spells like Rip Blood or Drain Life. Sentinel seems to have more options in that regard.
That being said, warlock is definitely an option.

Acolyte also has Chaos Bolts & Chthonic Rift which aren’t low AoE (I originally read that as low life).
Sentinel has always been a good caster, especially when Smite got 2 damage per Vit that was available to all Sentinels, I really don’t get why the devs say that the VK isn’t a caster when it has more spells than the other Sentinel masteries.

The class that you think is the most interesting.
personally, I want to try runemaster to check it out. Fighting the imprisoned mages kind of makes me want to try it.
