Which advanced class?
Well, the powertech jumps head on into combat and deals most of their damage with flamethrowers(especially Advanced Prototype spec) from within at least 10 meters. They also have the option to tank, which, since you get a healing companion first, is really good.
Mercenaries deal most of their damage from range with their blasters and missles. They can heal, but leveling as healer can be a little tougher than with other classes since your first tank companion comes after Hoth, and the second after Belsavis.
I hope that was enough info for you, have fun with your bounty hunter.
