I chose heavy, but the Jenner really interests me. If I really like it and can come up with some good variants, I may end up using that the most.

Nominally, I'm a Clan Medium driver. Stormcrow, Shadow Cat, Gyrfalcon. Lots of mobility, enough guns to keep me happy, and enough armor to take a couple of hits. Unfortunately, I'm not horribly fond of any IS Mediums, other than maybe some of the Celestial variants (which are many decades in the future). However, there is an IS Medium I could like:

Marauder III MAD-A2
50 tons
300 XL Engine (6/9 MP)
8.5 tons Std armor
ES internal structure
12 Dbl HS
1 ER LgLsr - RA
1 ER LgLsr - LA
Ultra AC/5 - RT (2 tons ammo, CASE)
9,457,500 C-Bills, BV1=1,072

Could probably use some alterations, but it's kind of just a lighter, faster MAD-3R.

Otherwise, I reckon I'll stick to a Heavy. CPLT-K2 if I have to. MAD-3R, if I can.

I'll probably play some light and heavy as well but mostly medium. A lot of mechs I like in this range. and you can compete with just about anything with the right medium. On rare occasion I may play an assault. But Ill probably own one or two at most and they will collect much dust between field time.

I don't want to make a choice, because one of my favorite aspects of the revealed experience system so far is that there's no reason to stick to a certain weight class. I like the idea of the 'scout role', but I can see lights, mediums, and maybe even the lighter/faster heavies being able to accomplish different things within that role.

Really, I plan to try as many as possible and see what works.

Any Medium with higher-then-average speed will get my ridership

Gonna saddle up an assault.
I don't mind being the slowest thing out there, I just want as much armor as an entire light mech's tonnage and two hard hitting weapons.

The rest is just gravy.
