I love War Domain the best. It's the only class (I'm pretty sure) that can make multiple attacks at Level 1.
Plus at Level 8 you do an extra dice of whatever you are using, so if you are using a Sunblade you do 2d8 Radiant damage. I love Radiant damageas not too many things have resistance to it.
Every class can make multiple attacks at level 1. All you have to do is wield two light weapons, and you can make a bonus action attack every single round. War Cleric only gets to do Bonus Action attacks 2-5 times between long rests, depending on your Wisdom score, although you do get to add your strength or dex modifier in, and you can do it while holding a shield, or while using a two handed weapon. At level 1, a fighter can add their Dex or Str modifier to their bonus action attack if they choose the two-weapon fighting fighting style, and they can do it every single round, although they still can't do it while holding a shield or using a two handed weapon. But they get to do it every single round.
In fact, most Rogues at level 1 will be doing two attacks every round as a way to increase their chances of getting sneak attack.
Forge domain has a lot of rp opportunities for me. I’m hoping for an official release of rune knight then I’ll multiclass the two at some point. I really like Arcana domain for the spell selection and to question the nature of magic and what constitutes as divine/arcane. Trickery has great domain spells but I hate that your channel divinity requires concentration. Still a great channel divinity considering it lets you heal at range and cut off escape routes for enemies. Grave is an awesome domain as it has one of the best channel divinities. Path to the grave is very strong and I feel like Caduceus doesn’t use it as much as he should. Tempest domain is strong I just wished it had lightning bolt spell. I feel like this one gets picked often because it’s a good frontline fighter with high damage spells. It’s picked too often for my taste so I’ve stayed away from it. I think I want to try out light domain at some point or twilight domain if it becomes official.
Forge Domain just seemed like the most tip-top option when I played as one in a one-shot. I never played as a cleric before in a D&D game of 5e, but this one immediately just spoke to me when I gave it a go. A lot of RP potential outside of adventuring when you're in downtime and having that mindset of being something other than a moving medical kit on legs is awesome. I'm hoping to give it a go someday when I finish playing with my Gnome Transmuter, Khezrik/

Edit: What about order domain?

War. It lets you be a battle healer. Nuff said
Forge, if you want to be an Artificer, but not, and better with fire things.
