20 days of SWTOR, day 8
My favorite class so far is Imperial Agent. (I've even got the t-shirt. Yes, really.) Why?
First off, you get to be James Bond in space, which is really fun. Granted, as a Light Sider, I'm nicer than James Bond, but I'm still an incredibly competent secret agent who sleeps with people for information and is snarky to people who deserve it. (However unwise that can be.)
The class story, so far, is great. Yes, you're protecting the not-exactly-good-Empire, but you're also protecting the citizens thereof, most of whom deserve protection. You get to be wonderfully heroically stupid in the finale to Chapter One, while facing down someone who could squash you like a bug.
Your first companion is entertainingly wrong (particularly if you're playing Light Side), and is probably the companion I most wish I could respond to the out-of-conversation-comments of. (Kaliyo, please stop saying you want to burn down the capital city while we're walking through it. The security officers aren't known for their sense of humor.)
Imperial side is, on the whole, much funnier than Republic side. (Or my sense of humor is a bit off, one of the two.)
Also, playing a Light Side Agent seems more heroic, or at least more dangerous, than playing other Imperial classes Light Side. Bounty Hunters aren't really Imperials, and Sith have quite a lot more power. I may find some of the stuff I've gotten away with a bit hard on my suspension of disbelief (I don't think I've committed out and out treason on any class quests, though I'm not too sure about the one in the Dark Temple. Just side quests. Wait, that doesn't really help.), but I enjoy the hell out of it anyway.
I will grant that Smuggler runs a close second, since it is so very Han Solo-y. And has the most humor of the Republic side stuff I've played so far.

no subject
I have no idea how I'm going to handle this in The Secret World, where one character can eventually learn all weapons and combat skills. Maybe a hammer-wielder who does some magic on the side.
