Summoners are DoT classes, Scholar are Healing over Time. They both branch out from Arcanist, but still we don't really know how they will play.
All the races have similar stats, the differences are very small, so pick the race for the looks and the class for the playstyle.
Overall, it seems you might like Lancer (Dragoon). Their armour looks great, they learn some Jump moves and their DPS is great. The good (or bad) thing is that you'll probably need to level some crossclasses to get skills useful to your main (for example, Archer gets some good crit skills that Lancer can benefit from), so you'll end up trying lots of them.
