Not at all. BTW the OP did not specify the game mode. PVP, Regular PVE, NIMS, Ranked?
Merc healers are often a great picks in OPS especially NIMS, while Sorcs are a great pick for ranked

You'll probably end up levelling one of each, so don't worry: just play something you like. And btw there's also the operative/scoundrel which has the added ability to stealth, which is valuable to skipped mobs in dungeons (called Flashpoints in SWTOR).

Merc is the strongest in terms of single-target extended throughput. Their heat management system is much easier they can spam heals on the tank with every gcd and not out of resources.

Sorc is the strongest overall because it has powerful aoe, burst and throughput. Their resource management requires gcd's but ultimately that's not much of a requirement.

Op is the strongest AoE healer, with hots and strong aoe heals. The problem is they run out of energy too quickly and lack effective tools to quickly recover it should things go wrong for 30 seconds or longer.

Every 8 man raid is stronger having a merc/sorc combo so while operatives are fun to play they're weaker than the rest in a majority of content.
