Don't put any points in suits until you have your core skills up. It gives you a chance to feel out which style of play suits you best while still improving your suits. Then, once you have your core skills up and a better idea of how you like to play, you will get more out of the suit you skill into because you were a smart guy and put your first ~5M SP into suit upgrades. At a minimum get Armor and Shield Upgrades to 5/5 (in the Dropsuit Upgrades tree). This will give you an additional 25% Armor and Shields on EVERY SUIT YOU EVER USE. Well worth investing in up front, trust me.
The "battlefield roles" are as follows:
Assault = slayers, front line soldiers
Logi = pure support, healers, equipment carriers
Scout = recon/infiltration
Basic Heavy/Sentinel = infantry tanks, extremely high health, wield heavy weapons
Commando = front line fire support, NOT front line soldiers, 2 light weapons allow extreme battlefield adaptability
You'll find people that play one suit in another's role, but this is generally how the chips fall.

Shameless plug here for the Minmatar Commando (my preferred suit).
Pro's:
Fat damage bonus to CR and MD
Most mobile commando suit...excellent for flanking
Con's:
Squishiest Commando...less hp than some brick-tanked scouts
Large hitbox...so your survivability is on par with some medium suits
But let me tell you, I personally feel the Min Commando is one of those things where the whole is greater than the sum of the parts...once you realize hoe powerful the CR/MD combo is on the Min Commando, you'll never, ever go back.
That said, the Min Assault gets very useful bonuses, as well. I'm just a Commando through-and-through.

The M-209 Assault SMG has an impressively long range.
