m = might be misuse of a trade mark and when you anger the Gods they won't deliver your mail

"Mail" because it's part of the name. It distinguishes it from First Class Package.

Actually in a sentence only the first word would be capitalized. None of those words are worthy of capitalization.

@inhawaii  The USPS has trademarked it, so it's First-Class Mail - if you want to be tedious, you can use the trademark symbol in the listing text.

@inhawaii,

 

I'm lazy so I write 1st Class Mail, 

 

Since you're located in Hawaii, you could give your listings some local flavor and write

Da Kine, First Class Mail or No Ka Oi, Priority Mail.

Omg. OT I never knew Da Kine was a pidgin phrase. I wouldn’t have thought because I know it as a popular ski/snowboard brand and only a small region of Hawaii has snow. I learned something new today.
