But if I do that, is there any route in particular you recommend me to go for making my characters before the switch to Balmung? (Assuming that's the better of the 2 mega RP servers). And once I'm there, where is the best place to start making friends? Would it be best to post here once I make the transfer, and go from there?
Whether or not you play out the trial is up to you, except that the trial limits you to one character on a given server and only up to level 20 (this is changing to level 35, though, as of next Tuesday's patch). Whether or not you achieve that level (and are thus dead-ended) or not within the timespan of your free trial depends on how frequently and aggressively that you play.
You do in fact get the free 30 days with your game purchase in spite of being a free trial, so that's a nice benefit at least.
As far as your other question regarding a route, that all depends on what kind of role you like in PVE content in an MMO. From an RP perspective your character can be whomever you decide, regardless of levels or class choices for PVE, the only limit on RP is that if you really want the character's avatar to visually display a particular type of equipment or weapon then of course you'd need to level the appropriate class (though, again, the levels don't matter for RP - if you have only 10 levels of Gladiator and you want to say your character has a lifetime of experience using a sword, that's going to be just fine to most players).
