If endgame is your goal :

Tank : PLD hands down, WAR is just unwanted and far less viable as a tank.

DPS : BRD, DRG, BLM (possibly SMN). There are a million DRG's and BRD's though so I would suggest one of the dps casters.

Healer : Both are needed and viable, choose whichever appeals to you the most.

Those are pretty much the best options. My choice for 8 man min/max raid group comp at this point : PLDx2, BRDx2, BLM(or SMN), DRG, WHM, SCH.
Most groups don't want melee DPS. Dragoons and Monks are left in the cold.
