Something different, perhaps?

[no one]

It strongly depends on multiple things in my case, for example on the races and classes to choose, the general story+setting and how things will be played (aka, by post or voice chat, some other way etc.). So for now I'll settle on a big maybe.

I only know/am familiar with Pathfinder and not DnD, if that's an issue also (?).

A significant portion of the standard dnd races will be available (Humans, Elves and several elven subraces, Gnomes, Dwarves, Orcs, Goblins, etc) and most of the DnD classes will be available too. I'll just be manipulating the existing classes slightly to fit my world a little better. To give you an example, I'm not a fan of how the word "Paladin" is used in fantasy settings. I'll be modifying the Paladin class and fusing it with the Cleric class to turn it into a Holy Knight class, with your skills and other stuff like that changing depending on which god you serve. I'll also be adding a "Priest" class with a similar gimmick. There will also be another magic based class to join Sorcerers, Wizards and Warlocks that will have a slightly different gimmick.

I'm not very familiar with Pathfinder, but if it's easier than DnD, I might switch to it. I'm just using DnD because I have some basis in it so I won't effectively be starting at the beginning.
