I'd go with warrior, but that's mostly becuase of charge. I know it's kind of shallow, but It's just such a fun ability.
But, if you're concerned about having to re-level, you could always go for a DK. I know a lot of people give them shit, but they're most likely the toughest of all the tank classes to play since you not only have to get good at managing CDs (like DnD CD for AoE) on top of rune CDs, but, you also have a larget amount of "Oh shit" buttons on short CDs to manage, plus your death strikes and rune taps need to be sync'd with your healers heals as well as Vampiric blood.
In all honesty, it really just comes down to what you enjoy out of the game. I'm really tempted to roll a warrior simply out of my love for charging. It sounds dumb, but it's what I enjoy. In the end, there will be something you enjoy, and whatever that is will narrow things down a bit.
I'm still torn between a warrior or a death knight (comes down to charging/brutal face smashing, or the stretagy required for you self-heals and CD/rune useage). I think in the end I'll level up both and see which one I enjoy more.

Me, I will be leveling from 1 as a worgen of some sort when the expansion hits. I tried a warrior and got it to 27 before I deleted it. I prefer the classes that are able to heal themselves in some way. Leveling a warlock at the moment, and am enjoying it this time. I personally like the pet classes (warlock and hunter) and the hybrids that have a healing spec (paladin, druid; shaman and priest I haven't really done). But I will be creating a priest and leveling as shadow (more than likely). Gonna forgo the heirlooms on her (female worgen) until I reach 60 so I can breeze through outland and northrend, then back to normal gear at 78 when I head to Hyjal. Or I may go with another warlock.
So really, only you can answer your question on which class to go with (whether you have to start at 1 or can start at 80)
Retribution spec, it does just as well as "AoE lvling Prot"
Warrior, Paladin, and Druid!
I'd say a prot warrior. It's the most fun I've had in a long time.
My three favorite classes are warrior, priest and hunter. Tank, heal and dps in that order. I hardly ever quest with my priest though as I find shadowspec so boring.
I'm most likely going further with prot warrior and my hunter when Cata is out. Priest is still only at 69 whilst Hunter is ICC-geared and Warrior is heroics geared.
