Don't look at classes, just look at the skills you'd like to play. One handed or two-handed weapons, light or heavy armor, things like that. You can create any character you want without being labeled a thief, warrior or mage.

Warrior Stone: Combat skills increase 20% faster.
Thief Stone: Stealth skills increase 20% faster.
Mage Stone: Magic skills increase 20% faster.

Perhaps I misunderstood the question. Where you asking what class to play or were you refering to the guardian stones ?

I prefer a mix. I call it a sellsword. Basically, modded theif armor. A facemask mod. I use the razor for my dagger. With sneak tools, I can slash throats. A good bow, and a mix of restoration spells (warding) and desctruction spells. To me, this is one thing I love about Skyrim. By eleminating the old restricted classes, you really can carve out your own idea of what works.

I like the Thief-mage because I think it is the strongest class but...

All classes have thier own pros and cons so it helps, at least in the first 10 levels, to train a little in all areas. After I talk to the Grey Beards for the first time I'll start specializing in specific class and focus on quests best suited for that character build. A strictly Mage class is the hardest in the beginning but are very powerful in the long run so I tend to train in the rogue or fighter while working on the perks needed for the mage. I have also spent some time in the characters early stages being a merchant class gaining experience in alchemy, smithing and enchanting while putting the points into a spell class perk.

if you like sneaking and stealing be a thief if you only like fighting with sword,sheilds,Ect be a warrior if you like only magic be a mage or you can be a theif/Mage sneak and use magic like me i am all i use a sword dagger and sometimes magic

Unless you plan on cheating or modding I wouldn't bother with magic too much, playing a legit mage is not fun in my experience
Why not try all three types and see what you like better rather than have strangers that know nothing about you and your preference decide for you?

Warrior is best for new players, mage can be fun, but thief is the hardest, need to master alot of skills.

For those looking for amazing, and lore friendly spells, might I suggest the Apocalypse spells? I've found them to compliment rather nicely, without being un lore like.

Pick whatever the hell you want. They're all equally fun. Did Skyrim strip you of your free will or something?

You're not locked to any class. You can branch into pretty much any skill tree you fancy. Go nuts!
