Best starting HC character is...
I would say the Frost Zealot
His aura gives more than adequate damage through NM, and plenty of safety with the slow. You can pump his life alot, and he does not require too much STR or DEX since you won't be trying to equip anything too special anyways. Zeal gives you good killing speed and killing speed = safety. They can't kill you if they're dead, unless they're FEs of course.
I've found this guy to be very good at getting me some low lvl stuff while lvling himself to Hell.
