Pistols are the most DPS-efficient weapon in the first game so it doesn't matter what you play as. I would recommend something with biotics - Sentinel, Vanguard, or Adept are all good. Go for more tech-oriented if you want to bring along Liara, since she's a monster anyway who can be left to her own devices (she's the only character whose powers I don't actively manage). If you have a high enough level profile to carry over into a new start, give your squadmates the highest level of explosive ammo available with the most powerful single-shot guns they can hold. They won't fire too often, but every time they do and it kills the enemy (fairly often on Medium and lower, which is where the first game should be played to avoid tedium) the enemy goes rocketing around as if they were shot out of a cannon. It's great.
Seriously give your squadmates high explosive ammo.
Second game? Avoid Soldier and Engineer, if possible. Adept is the only single-focus class I'd play as, and that only with an implicit understanding of the Warp Bomb (which is the ability to make persistent biotic effects like Pull and Singularities explode with a Warp, which is the most devastating power in the game). Sentinel is good for a first-time Insanity runthrough, but the most fun classes by far are Infiltrator and Vanguard.
It depends on the kind of playstyle you want ot use. Infiltrator is good for distance and Vanguard is good for close quarters. You will spend almost no time in cover as a Vanguard, and will use health packs more often. Vanguard actually gains advantages in Veteran and Insanity, because when all enemies have protection it means they don't go flying when you charge them - a double-edged sword in that they aren't staggered for as long, but it gives you the opportunity to one-shot them at point-blank (you have to actually move closer to them after the charge because of the stagger effect), and your Inferno Ammo will allow for crowd control because of its "oh shit I'm on fire" area effect, which is more noticeable on shotguns.
You can freestyle an Infiltrator and be pretty effective. It depends on if you want to shotgun or to snipe.
If you have to play a Soldier - actually, just don't.
Sentinels are great in that they're tanks, Warp Bomb even more effectively than Adepts (wonderful synergy with Jack and Samara), and are monsters if you give them shotguns.
If you play Vanguard I recommend bringing over a level 60 save file so you are level 5 from the start. Max out your Charge first (Heavy Charge), then level your class (Champion), then level to Inferno Ammo. Everything after that is gravy. Do not bother with any ammo powers as your bonus; Inferno is the only ammo a Vanguard will ever need.
If you have the Lair of the Shadow Broker DLC (you should), take Stasis as your bonus power. It feels a bit cheap sometimes, but it's far and away the best loyalty power in the game.
*cough*
Erm
Yeah I'd say play Vanguard in both, just don't forget that high explosives ammo for your squad in the first game
