If you and several friends all joined up at the same time, why not form your own clan? KUTT originated with just a few real life friends and expanded in to one of the most formidable clans in cRPG (siege at the very least). If all of you are searching for one clan to migrate to together, it might get a little difficult to get accepted places if the clan is forced to take all of you at once or none of you all together.
The Hoplite clan is a good example of this. These guys are new to cRPG, but not new to mount and blade (they came over from Napoleonic Wars), yet they formed at new clan and they have already recruited a few long time players.
If you don't want to go through the hassle of forming your own clan and starting slowly, check out the faction hall page for clans:
http://forum.c-rpg.net/index.php/board,7.0.html . I'd say the places to look would be Hospitaller or Astralis. The best way to figure out who you like is to join clans in their teamspeak/ventrilo and talk to them while playing.
