I don't have much experience, so my post here might not be too reliable. I have watched a lot of gameplay, and have personally gotten like level 60 something characters. I haven't experienced the late game, but I know the pros and cons of each class quite well. It seems like you're focused on surviving, not support. This eliminates the medic class. You want a decent speed. I like heavy. Basically, during the beginning, you have crap everything and you don't want a lot of fast movement since you can invest your skills a lot better, so you're slow AF. During the end game, though, heavies have basically the same defence as everything else. However, you can get 99.54% protection due to tough body, which also gives you 54% protection against dark minions. Assaults are kind of quick during the beginning, and they do a crap ton of damage once you level your skills up a bit. Basically, during the beginning, heavies suck. During the beginning, assault is very good. Mid-game, depending on your build and skill level, heavies are okay. Assaults are pretty decent. During the end game, though, heavies are insane. With the right build, you can tank everything, kill things pretty decently, and go fairly quickly. During the end game, with the right build, assaults are insanely quick and do tons of damage.

So, it all comes down to this. Do you wanna kill everything or tank everything? They both have pretty good speed with the right build, but assaults are slightly faster, they both can have really good defence, however, heavies do well against dark minions. Assaults do a crap ton more damage, but the thing is, with heavy gear, heavies can use things like the M1000 very well. Basically, all of the classes are very well balanced. It's up to you. Hope I helped.
