The Sorcerer and Cleric have decent stats, but require you to be dependant on the initial magic type, especially for the Sorcerer, before being able to make effective use of Hexes.

With its low starting level and even stat distribution, the Deprived can prove to be amazing, should you be able to handle the initial weakness. Low starting level means that the levels cost almost nothing, and you also have the highest available Dark ATK on any starting class, for what that's worth.
