Strongest yet easy BG3 builds for a first run?

First time playing on balanced. I want something forgiving that doesn't need me to plan every level-up. Leaning toward a fighter or cleric but open to anything simple.

three that are hard to mess up: life or tempest cleric - heavy armour, healing, and spirit guardians at 5 does half the fighting for you vengeance paladin - smite when it matters, good saves, very little to think about fiend warlock - eldritch blast with agonising blast every turn, done all three are fine straight to 12 with no multiclassing. that's honestly the best advice for a first run, save the clever builds for the second one.
