As a general rule , if it requires an ATP you need a first class. From the info you gave your mission might only need a commercial. So, my guess, second class.

I can't for the life of me think what the debate would be. The fact that you're debating makes me wonder if I'm wrong in thinking that you just need a second class. Unless you're a commuter operation?

Straight from the FAR's, I read that as needing a second class. The way you have that bolded makes me think you disagree?
