Red server perspective:
#1 - Innoruk Human (solid stats, access to see invis helm, access to snare neck, access to undead fear neck)
#2 Cazic-Thule Erudite (solid wis but horrible str, access to see invis helm and undead fear neck)
#3&4 tied Gnome (wall-looking) Halfling (hide/sneak, ok wall looking) *switch these with #1 and #2 position if 10-15k plat doesn't mean anything to you.*
#5 Dark Elf (Hide, snare neck)
#6/7 tied Dwarf/High Elf (brings nothing but stats to the table, which won't matter in velious)
Really the only thing that matters is the see invis helm, everything else is somewhere between non-factor or icing on the cake. If you're an established player with 15k to drop on a bracer of the hidden, halfling and gnome are the best. If you're a new player or just not rich, your life will be a LOT easier going innoruk human or erudite.
Personally I've rolled a few clerics and I've settled on Erudite. Human would be a bit more min/maxy but I like the unique factor. Only regret is the 70 strength.
