I admit it: I like powergaming. I am really of the belief that even powergaming has personal influences, so one person's "most powerful" might not match up with someone else's.
After messing around with all of the beginning classes, I personally am dead-set on Scout as being the most powerful, with the perfect places to stop level-upping being 4 or 8. You get a great Saves, BAB, and bonus abilities at these points, without much more by going a level more, but a lot to lose by stopping a level too soon. I like that the class has some cool skills as well, which help even with an 8 INT (but 10 works the best IMHO).
I can't decide on the Jedi class though. I like both the Guardian and the Sentinel. The Guardian's "Jedi Jump" or whatever isn't all that great though, which is what really sets it apart from the Sentinel IMHO. The Sentinel is good also. BTW, I want to be pretty good in melee, so the Consular isn't the best choice for me.
What do you guys think? What's "perfect" for you?
Which Jedi class is most powerful?

Oh, squiggly line in my eye fluid. I see you lurking there on the periphery of my vision. But when I try to look at you, you scurry away. Are you shy, squiggly line? Why only when I ignore you, do you return to the center of my eye? Oh, squiggly line, it's alright, you are forgiven.

In my opinion, the Consular is better than the Sentinel which is better than the Guardian. A Consular can still be a decent melee fighter if he started out as a Scout, choosing the right feats and force powers. Scout/Consular or Scoundrel/Consular are definitely my favorites.

The Jedi Guardian(l15)->Jedi Weapon Master of course! 
Yes, it's from Kotor II.
His +6 to Str(+ 5 from equipment), +valor +force speed, you'll just see a flash on your screen when he goes by.

I think they're all pretty balanced. There's strengths and weaknesses with all the classes, and as long as you know what they are you can do something pretty solid with most. That's less true in Kotor2, where the Jedi Master (and perhaps Sith Lord) don't seem to add much to your abilities, especially compared to the Watchman, Weapon Master, and Assassin. What I would say about the Sentinel is that it's a better choice for experienced players than for people who haven't played much, because it's strengths are rather more subtle than the Guardian and Consular.
Back from the brink.
Like RPGs? Like Star Wars? Think combining the two would be fun? Read Darths and Droids, and discover the line "Jar Jar, you're a genius".
These, in the day when heaven was falling,
The hour when earth's foundations fled,
Followed their mercenary calling
And took their wages and are dead.
