This is very easy.. Orcs are the 'strongest' but that means nothing, hands down Redguards are the best Warriors in Tamriel, they defeated the Orcs in combat and held the Thalmor off alone when they tried to settle in Hammerfell. Beyond all this, in every single book written about the Redguards they will be listed as the most naturally talented warriors. Here are some quotes.

They are a highly disciplined and enterprising people, having centuries of experience with warfare in their homeland before arriving on Tamriel's shores. "Their warriors are acknowledged to be among the best in the world."

Redguard society is extremely martial, and nearly everyone is expected to have a grasp of basic weaponry and combat, although only the rulers are generally expected to have detailed knowledge of strategy, formations and tactics. Only the strongest, fastest and smartest Redguards are accepted into the demanding military (which consists mainly of various knightly orders; Redguards don't traditionally have a standing army), and they are expected to prove themselves worthy by facing death.[1 ] Even their entertainment, like snake charming, bears some risk to it.
