At the start of the game Altmer and Breton have the best magic skill stat's. The racial abilitie's of each relate directly to the mage class. Compare the two race's and decide if you want more magicka / magicka regen (Altmer) or more magical defence / magicka absorb (Breton).

Personally I prefer Breton as I play on Master difficulty, Dragon's Breath and Mage enemie's can be deadly without good magical defence.
