Whats every ones thoughts on the best class to play in seasons and non seasons
You can get inspiration from maxroll’s tier lists.

It really depends on the build rather than the class itself which is best. All classes have builds for different playstyles which generally work roughly the same in both season and non-season, the main difference between modes is mostly more power in seasons. In some cases a season theme can add new playstyles like back in S27 with the Crucbles you had the Spin-to-Win Impale DH.
This season theme, the Ethereals, doesn’t really change much, just adds tons of power.
So to answer the question first determine which playstyle appeals to you the most. Then check the tier lists to see which builds for that playstyle work great in season and non-season respectively.
There really isn’t a straightforward answer to this. Different people like different things and one can’t say something is absolutely best if the other person doesn’t like some aspect of it.

Your characters will always be better in seasons. Yes there are good too in non season. But with Altar & themes they are always better seasons

It’s hard to say what is best. There are classes that may perform a little higher than other, but you personally may not have any fun in doing so. I personally won’t play something that’s boring just because it may get higher on the boards. Boring yourself to show off on boards that mean nothing is a waste of time.
Being “best” will always be subjective in that regard. If you’re just looking for personal opinions, I always say Monk.
Another thing. I see that you use Bane of the Stricken legendary gem. It is only really useful when killing the rift guardian begins to take too long (in greater rifts). The stacking damage per hit only works on one single monster at the time even when you’re fighting large packs of enemies (I also used it wrongfully until I learned better). So for “normal” content other gems are better. Again you can look at maxroll guides for inspiration.
For me I am having more fun this season with the Barbarian. Last season I had a blast with the Necromancer. Before that I was having fun with the Wizard. I always have fun with the Monk (PoJ) and Crusader (FotH).
Played alot of seasons. Usually you want to play a DH which can level fast and you can eventually go zDH to keep up with the no lifers. After that it depends on the season. Sometimes Wiz or Necro. Sometimes Crusaders or monk are good. WH is just bad every season. Maybe one of these themes will make them playable but doubt it. If you want to go deep into a season you will eventual need to make a zbarb cause too many zDHs make groups hard to find. Again to keep up with the no lifers.
