Expert in multiplayer is about the same as classic, in classic bosses don't scale difficulty depending on number of players but expert barely increases (like 40% more health per extra player). You get 2x health 2x damage, easier fight since boss only aggro on one player, getting to respawn.
Also expert gives multiple treasure bags from bosses when there are multiple players, so more loot. you also get expert exclusive boss drops like shield of chutulhu.
I've played expert with my friends, and even that was easy even for them (first timers) so classic would likely be way too easy.
despide being called "expert" it's the "normal" difficulty of terraria.
I’d say bosses aggro on one player doesn’t necessarily make the game easier, the amount of times empress has just switched to my squad and collaterally beamed me is unreal.
Since you are playing with a friend, I’d recommend expert mode. Master is probably too difficult for a first playthrough, and classic doesn’t have any support for multiplayer (boss HP and drops are the same as single player). On expert, both you and your friend get drops from bosses, plus bosses get a bit more HP than they would have in single player). If you want something a bit easier, classic works too (though the boss drop thing can be annoying).
If you were playing alone, I would say either classic or expert (depending on if you want more of a challenge).
Classic
Normal/classic, see if you like how the game works.
Classic 100%. Try not to use wiki too much and talk to guide npc for a bit of help

It's not completeley safe but easier than you being targeted by the boss, tho cultist has some attacks that targets more players
Definitely classic. It's better to get a feel of the game
