I built a 5th-level Minotaur Fighter to run through KotS. Bait played the character, and he also built and ran a 5th-level Eladrin Fey Pact Warlock that multiclassed into Wizard, so it was two 5th level PCs instead of 5 1st level PCs. I DMed the session. We weren't too sure about what level to make them, and weren't too worried about it either.
Here is the gist of the Fighter build:
Str 18 Con 18 Dex 10 Int 14 Wis 14 Cha 8
Feats: Potent Challenge, Toughness, Weapon Focus
Minotaur's Oversized racial feature + Maul = 2d8 weapon damage. Crushing Blow as an Encounter power is dealing 4d8+8 damage.
Boundless Endurance seems really, really nice to have. Rain of Steel is deadly to Minions.
It's just a very basic quick thrown-together meatshield Fighter build, but it's deadly and fun. The Eladrin Warlock was very hard to get a bead on with its extra movement capabilities, and garnering a Wizard Encounter AoE power (or what have you) is great for the Warlocks' versatility.
All in all, it was lots of fun.
