I been healing as evoker and I don’t hate it but not a huge fan either. What’s the next best thing? I like to queue up as. Both dps and healer doing raids and groups
Each class has their own unique “feel”. Only way for you to find out which one fits you best is to try them out. I personally like Resto Shaman and Resto Druid the best. In M+, shamans have BIG heals and bring a lot of utility, but feel slowwwww. Druids on the other hand also bring a lot of utility but the heals aren’t as big but things are much quicker!
As none of the healers really play similarly at this point it’d be best to either look up some videos and see which one you would prefer.
As a stupid example, if you like to do damage while healing you may want to look at videos of disc priests or holy paladins (unless they changed disc again in Dragonflight at which case I’m talking out my butt)
Monk is fun for damage too.

I like…
Ret pally/Prot Paly/Holy Paladin (feels a bit like evoker in the close range aspect right now until the rework; haven’t tried those changes yet but I hear they are turning them more into casters again).
Enhancement shaman/Restoration - My go to generally love it
Shadow Priest/Disclipline Priest - Similarly Shadow can be very fun to be as and play, discipline is an old favorite since wotlk.
WW/BM/MW Monk- If you like being melee and healing its great. Although can be abit tougher and not as intuitive. This is a good class if you like weaving between melee attacks and ranged heals more so then paladin.
Is there a best race for monk and paladin?
Probably, but usually it doesn’t matter unless you are like way top end 1% of the playerbase. I usually go with cosmetics over racials. Your favorite races make it easier to play imo.
Best race for mistweaver monk is Pandaren because of the food buff! End game; 152 intellect is better than 76 intellect 
Just jumping in to reply to this. Unless they pulled something out of their hat…they really didn’t. The rework gave a few token talents to make the caster build not as garbage as it’s been since Legion, but it’s still not good. You are still very much encouraged to be in melee range.
I like the idea of the panda food buff. Pandas can be monks and shaman I believe. What one makes the better healers/DPS
Resto Shamans are in a much better place than mistweavers are. My “main” is a panda shaman.
I enjoyed Shaman, you just drown people until they are healthy again.

That was my impression as well. I like Devastation though.

Paladins and shamans.
Mistweaver monk damage is so low that I have to feel its the lowest of all healers. Its joke level low. Yes, you do damage to heal, but its like 2% of what a dps/tank does.
Cant use the food buff in PvP and that has been an issue since pandas were introduced.
Holy Priest obviously, EZ and fun as hell.
druid is the next best.
if you’re going for higher keys, dwarf/dark iron usually have a slight edge because their racial lets them dispel bleeds and dots which a lot of m+ has. outside of that, it’s really just cosmetic, all races are within like .5% dps/hps of each other.
