USN BBs are good but infuriatingly slow up to T7 so you may not want to go that way at first. I love Königsberg and Nürnberg is good but also very squishy. Fast reloading torps but they do not hit hard. German DDs are easy and jack-of all trades. Brit light cruisers (CL) are good after T6 I would skip the Italian cruisers and the British heavy cruisers for a beginner. IJN BBs are good and I personally like them more than USN but they have less armor in general and are faster (more battlecruisers early on) Good HE and good torps, but after Furutaka torp angles are abysmal. IJN heavy cruisers are all good, but not easy to play. USN has some very nice cruisers but they have no torps, so it is guns only. USN light cruisers are good but oh very squishy (Omaha).

Minekaze at T5 used to be great, now not as much. USN DD for gunboats and IJN DD if you like stealthier torping.

I would say the German BB and cruiser lines are good and easier to handle for beginners. You should play some and see which classes are ok for you.
