Here's a simple way of working it out.
If you're using arrays of a type, use classes.
If you're storing lots of data inside it, classes.
If you need inheritance, classes.
If you have simple data for returning/argument passing then struct.

Basically, small, short lived allocations stack. Long lived, large 
allocations, classes.

At least that's my opinion.
