With the reset and newcomers from open beta soon and all I thought it would be prudent to let people know what they get from all the various options you can choose from in character creation. I think I've listed everything but it should be noted that it is all militia variants of the gear (can't be bothered to write out militia 70 odd times, so take it as implied).
Would also like to say a big thank you to Zat for his helpful analysis I've quoted at the bottom.
If anyone spots any errors please let me know. (my max CPU and PG values are a little too high on the enforcer and sentinel but I'll fix that when I find out the unbuffed values)

Will say that the Sentinel and Artificer are the only ones that offer any significant BPO equipment differences from the preset starters (Forge gun and Repair tool, respectively).
However, looking at skillpoints, the Sentinel and Arbiter have the best SP distributions for tanking.
Enforcer: Easiest - widest variety SP, more versatile specialist loadout. Good for those new to FPS
Sentinel: Best Armor Tank - only Heavy suit ATM is armor-tanked, plus you get a Forge Gun starter-fit. Good start for a Heavy user. You can also unlock tiered Repair Tools fastest with this class.
Arbiter: Best Shield Tank - Shield is relied on heavily by the non-Heavy suits. This is also the only class to give the Engineering skill (PG fitting boost) in the starting SP pack.
Artificer: Honorable Mention - Nice way to put it. If it didn't have the only free BPO repair tool, this class would be jettisoned out the airlock. You get a sidearm for your weapon, no significant skills, and your highest skill (l3 circuitry) is given by the more versatile Enforcer.
Oh, and can I also mention that the Sentinel will actually get you standard-grade Repair tools faster than this supposed "Medic" class?

Updated Enforcer - need to wait until tomorrow to do Arbiter because you have to wait 10 hours to reset a clone... (unless someone else knows the stats and wants to fill me in) |

Updated Arbiter.
That completes the set!
Let me know if there's anything else you think would be appropriate to add in here. |

Done, cheers - I'd meant to do that originally but forgot. |

Still need to find out the original max CPU and PG values for the enforcer and sentinel suits because I've only got the buffed values. Can probably find these later when I can get on... |

Ah good thinking. Will do that when I get on in the morning. |

Thanks a bunch for that analysis Zat - I've added it to the OP, so newbies can get the whole picture from the top post. |

I've put a note in the opening paragraph about everything being militia but really can't be bothered to write militia next to absolutely everything. Sorry, feeling lazy... |

While I agree with Try Harder that the shield levels from the Arbiter class are handy and annoying to spec up otherwise, it really depends on whether you want to start out as a character more suited to offense or defense. If you want to be run and gunning, you'll likely want the lvl 3 weaponry from Sentinel, so you can get to the better weapons quicker but it should be remembered that you're going to be needing CPU and PG to put anything decent on your fittings, so that boost you get in Circuitry as Enforcer or Artificer is a pretty good thing too. |

Okay, I'll concede your logic is good. Arbiter is the most versatile starting class.
Personally, I'm a dedicated (swarm) AV, so the sentinel skills work well for me but you are definitely correct with the Arbiter shield skills being the hardest to spec into from the outset.
I'm just going to remove that part of the analysis quote from the OP and tell people to read through the comments to get further analysis. Cheers guys - good debate going here. |

Agreed there - though I will say that if you want to go anti-vehicle, the starter skills for the Sentinel are ideal, especially if you want decent swarms early on or, as mentioned, the game's only permanent forge gun. |
