I would go Erudite with 25 STA and 5 INT or STR. If you want min/Max go Agnostic but really Sol Ro is tight for RP purposes. If you're talking min/max Eru has highest stats of the stats you need on an INT caster. They also have an edge with the +5 racial save magic.
Dark Elf Hide is good but you have to screw around with it until you actually con indifferent which kind of sucks. You don't need Hide to AFK there's just a ton of hot air and misinformation out there. If you are actually somewhere dangerous the last thing you're going to want to do is AFK, hidden or not.
Gnome also has high STA but lower INT. Gnomevision is nice as well. You can be an Bertoxx Gnome wiz which is cool. You can't be a Paineel Eru wiz and that is a little strange, you can even be a Paineel Eru Cleric. Tinkering is not bad either.
Objectively speaking High Elf has the worst stats.
Humans have nice balanced stats. The high STR is nice and if you roll 15 STA and 15 INT you end up with 100 base STA and 100 base INT when combined with the other Human stats you end up with a very statty toon.
That's my 2CP. I stopped listening to people that say you don't need HP on an INT caster a very long time ago.
