Well, this is mostly just common sense after reading the boards but:
Generally, the Commando line seems to be the cheapest to fit for end-game-ish stuff (All you really need is marketplace stuff and a Swadian Kite Shield), and there's always room for more shielders, unless the group you're playing with is cade spamming. Since Commandos only need melee exp to progress, they progress the fastest with assist exp.
There's no such thing as soloing in hard mode past maybe wave 5 nowadays, but if you find yourself playing alone most of the time Snipers or Pikemen are the most popular choice for taking on earlier waves quickly for cheap materials.
Sharpshooters are somewhat hardier than the other ranged classes, but they suffer in kill rate, and the items required to compete with the other two ranged classes are extremely costly in comparison to their equivalents.
