First, the nonspoilery review of the two classes I've finished (and they will come as a surprise to no one).
Agent: Totally awesome! Epic fun spy fiction along the lines of James Bond (though less ruthless if you play Light Side). Oddly enough, quite possibly the furthest to the Idealism side of the Sliding Scale of Idealism vs Cynicism, if played Light Side. The vast majority of LS choices line up nicely with good (though I will note that many only work because this is an idealistic story as you are frequently endangering your mission by being LS) and it is tropetastic in the best possible sense.
Smuggler: I love the dialogue options, but the story did not hold up at all well. I felt like it's twists were more on the order of retcons and the story just felt a bit generic. (Rather than centered on you/your chosen career the way the Agent story is.) While it still has a number of LS choices that are on the idealistic side and the story itself could still be argued to be, it's set in a not-so-idealistic world.
Now for the more spoilery class reviews and some tweaks that I think would have made the game a ton better.
