Data from Wowhead's calculator (beta client, September 24). Values may change between beta builds. Classic comparison: Classic Era 1.15.9 client data via wago.tools.

How it is worked out

At level 20, the beta cap, the list is the community reference (foreverchanges.pro): the piece for each slot per faction, the alternatives in their order and where each one comes from. We tell it in our own words.

Below 20 it is calculated: in each slot, among the items your class can wear that can be obtained at that level (by their quest, dungeon or recipe), the one that adds the most points with your role's weights wins. Items with no known source are not recommended.

The weights, below: one point of the stat is worth its number. A simple rule in plain sight, not a simulator.
