Mage is the primary pet class. They summon an earth, air, water, and fire pet - all depending on your preference and play style.
I've got a high level mage, necro, and a mid level beastlord and chanter (are they a pet class? :S) and I'd say you've got the most choice really with the mage pet. I would read up on some of the classes and see which interests you most though.

Beastlords are really fun to play, they have a lot of shaman lowbie spells, good pet healing, a few spells of their own (Wrath/grace of the beast, Spiritual Purity/Bliss, Spiritual Vigor) , they can slow, haste, even tank a bit. They rock.
Mages do a lot of DPS damage, summon all kinds of things, root, and all their pets make them prolly the best pet class as Raherin said.
Necros do a lot of damage over time , FD, but the pet is weaker.Nec is cool at high end but my main is a nec and I'd advise you not to start with one

Both mages and beastlords are really nice to play if you ask me.
Mages are nice dps and their summons and DS are nice addition, beastlords have nice buffs (especially in the high-end), do damage, can tank, heal a bit.
The good side of mages are gate spell (at least for me) and summon bandages spell if you intend to solo from start.
Also mage AAs are really nice. All melee AAs make your pet better and it's noticeable.
With new med changes it might be even easier to play a mage, because you won't rely on gear so much (if you have a bit less mana it won't be such a trouble than a tanking beastlord with lack of hitpoints/AC). At least in my opinion, don't beat me!
But I am always happy to play with a beastlord for their nice buffs (and my main is a mage :c00l: ).

Even though mages probably can solo as well as a necro, my bet would be on a necro, as well. I find them to be the most interesting class in the game, and even more important, I'm really unmotivated for DCing (2-boxing) when I play my necro.
Mages aren't nearly as versatile as necroes, since they're all about damage, they don't have the more interesting parts such as FD (splitting!) and hp -> mana conversion.

I'd have to vote Beastlord. I also play a mage, and find myself all too often running for my life (I apparantly am not very skilled at the "true" caster/pet class thing), where as with my beasty, I can defend myself a bit and not have to rely 100% on my pet to protect me.
