My first linkshell i made with friends was a Garrison linkshell. Garrison is pretty easy, you'd typically want 12 people to do it right, and the only reliably schedulable ones are the Lv 20 Cap starter areas.
You should check out GarrisonBrigade linkshell, Kynadre runs it now. Don't know if they still do them even :P.
They are pretty fun, kinda like a mini besieged. Generally just make two well balanced parties allied, kite one of the mobs away so rest between waves, keep NPC's healed... it's alot of fun, but you definately want to make sure you do it with people you know.
Past lv 20 cap, you get into areas with constantly changing alliances, which makes planning a head a bit of a challenge.
