I would probably choose not to have classes, but rather sets of skills and abilities that could be purchased with some sort of points or experience. Only problem is the list of abilities and skills may become overwhelming, especially when they will start to require previous ones.

I'm quite liking that idea.

I think if I was to design an RPG, I'd be heavily leaning on TVTropes as a resource:

I'm not a fan of dice rolling, so the fewer stats the better, I think. I'd have something like:
Boss - a leadership / persuasion type stat
Brain - intelligence / IQ. Spock or a wizard would score highly.
Brawn - raw meathouse-ness
Bright - agility / resourcefulness. Good for a thief / scavenger / ninja
Build - can fix that broken cartwheel / hyperdrive / disable the timebomb
