My favorite class is probably Saber (Joan of Arc), but she's actually weak somewhat. Her master and allies make up for it though. Rider class (Alexander the Great) is my second favorite, he's fairly strong, but has a weak master. Archer class (Gilgamesh) is the strongest class and I believe he switches masters. Castor class is a psychopath and I feel sorry for his master. It plays out like heroic chess and the prize is one wish granted by the holy grail.
The fight scenes are very well animated, even exceptionally. The characters and story are impeccable, but there is a little down side. It's a medieval setting with a little melancholic atmosphere, with few smiles. This anime doesn't end how I thought it would, but is a cleverly crafted series with memorable characters.
Fate/Zero and the Fate series will easily make my Top 20 List and deserves most of the praise it receives. I haven't seen Fate/Stay Night yet, but am definitely looking forward to it!
