In my experience, any class and any reasonable "mainstream" build will work. While you're unlikely to find more than a few incredible items, but decent items are more than enough for a good build to finish the game. The uber equipment just isn't necessary to play or finish the game in my experience. I'm assuming that the player is reasonable and stays on the mlvl=clvl curve and doesn't try silly things like soloing hell 8 player.
By mainstream, I mean a build that does not rely on a specific piece of rare twinked equipment. Basically pick any class and any two good skill the class has and go for it.
I realize it may be heresy to some players, but there is absolutely no need for twinking at all in the game. Just about any non-crippled build can finish nightmare, regardless of the equipment they find/buy/gamble. And even in Hell, there is just no need for uber equipment (one does need decent equipment, but that is not hard to come by with a little patience or trading).
