Population is good. Most BGs usually have 1-2 groups at least and RvR is pretty active.
As for gear its easy to get imo.
Leveling is really easy. They have increased xp in classic zones, all RvR/PvP zones and I think even on player kills. If you play every day you could go from 1-50 in two weeks. If you have a guild PL you then it would only take a few days. The other day I made a new character and went from 1-18 in one day then the next day my guild powerleveled me from 18-34 in about 2-3 hours.
Best solo class depends if you talking PvE or RvR and what realm you playing.
IMO Doesnt matter what the best classes are play what you enjoy or what you are good at playing. The best classes changes when mythic releases patches. If you play the best class you may finding yourself making a new character when EA/mythic releases a patch to "fix" the best class.
