Yeah I have a feeling Bounty Hunter will probably be the most popular alt. Star Wars: Bounty Hunter was my favorite star wars game back in the day so I already knew this would be my main from the get go.
So much bad assery
OP, if you are more interested in looking at what role you want to play, someone on the official forums compiled a easy list of each ACs roles in the game. Personally, I found this list more helpful that swtor.com's AC page.

I was thinking trooper for main, but I just want a BH. The option to pick up bounties is just too cool.
Likely go Consular for my main because I am extremely indecisive and will want to be able to change roles.
I have been all Republic so far, but I think that I will just let the game decide for me. Play both sides and stick with the one I enjoy more.
I like sandwiches
