Depends. If I know the GM, and the GM is one that stresses roleplay over dungeon-crawling, I love Paladins, usuallyhuman. They're my favorite D&D class to play overall. For those GM's for whom D&D is an exercise in small unit tactics, I go for thieves, usually dwarf. It's nice to be basically unkillable, and that is pretty much a dwarven rogue.
In reality though, I play whatever whim grabs me. Right now I am playing a half-orc barbarian/sorceror wielding one of those stuuuupid orc double-axe things. It's just chunky, fun roleplay.
As to edition, I like 3rd ed. I started playing D&D back before the introduction of AD&D. I played it for years and years, but then suddenly realized just how flawed a system it was. 2nd edition didn't fix the problem, so I just gave up on it and moved to other games. When 3rd ed came out, my interest was grabbed anew. I find the game completely functional now and infinitely better. I'll always appreciate Ol School D&D, but am happy with the current edition quite a bit.
