It really doesn't matter all that much. Sometimes the least expected choice can be really good for your class. I did a Breton Warrior, who's 25% magicka resistance REALLY comes in handy with those Forsworn. I'd assume the same with all the other classes too. Unless there's 50 hidden stats floating around that I'm missing, the only real difference between races is racial abilities and starting skill levels, i.e. a Nord having a high starting heavy armor level and a low sneaking level. The things that really define your character are your skills, Guardian Stone choices and perks.
