honestly no one can give you a clear answer, first we don't know your preference in terms of gameplay.... some will prefer melee (sam, mnk, nin, drg) other will prefer caster (blm, smn, rdm) and some will prefer ranged physical (mch, dnc and brd).... second we don't know if you want to play the jobs as casual, raider or hardcore... a casual will try to without concern about optimization, raider will try to take was is the most meta or hardcore will simply try to become the best at the jobs they decide to stick with even if it's not meta (and believe a true hardcore can make any jobs shine)

that said... for some people class like sam, mnk and nin are easy to play, it don't means it's the case for everyone....
honestly say you search for the most consistent dps and at same time say, i don't want to touch blm is like said.... let's ignore that blm is actually the small favorite of yoshida and since...always... it's the jobs that get stronger and stronger while becoming easier and easier to play .( that my opinion)

the best advice was given already, level up everything and see what you prefer.... we can't tell you what is the best for you.... only yourself can find it.
