I've mostly been playing my gunslinger. I really like all three so far. I'm sort-of-a stand-in-the-back and tactically attack kind of guy, so the gunslinger and sage fit my personality the best. I like the knight story so far, but that's probably my least favorite class in terms of play to this point. Not saying it's bad, just that I'm not a lightsaber-in-your-face kind of guy. It's actually a lot of fun, despite my tendencies, but it's the one I play least right now. I haven't started a trooper yet, but I did play a bounty hunter in beta, and liked it, so I'll probably like that one, too.
Either way, I really enjoy the gunslinger and the sage. The gunslinger is a little more difficult to play solo because she doesn't have any healing of any kind, not even a healing companion unless I decide to gear up my ship bot, so there's not really any margin for error. The sage is sort of playing on easy mode, with a tank pet, long-lasting CC, ranged dps and the ability to force shield and heal.
On a bounty hunter, once I hit 10, there wasn't much that could hurt me. Particularly when death from above was up. I was playing Mercenary, so maybe things are different on Powertech, but it was so easy that I was putting Mako into her combat stance. Didn't need her healing unless it was an elite.
If you're having trouble, make sure you're a) keeping your gear up to date and b) purchasing your advanced class skills. You wouldn't believe the number of times I've seen people say "holy shit, there's a 2nd tab on the class trainer?!?".
Story-wise, I think they've all been good.
