I like dark elves so that's why I made one. Originally I had a high elf (strictly for the stats), but got tired of casting illusions constantly and decided to re-roll around level 25.
If your only concern is best starting stats, then I'd say high elf is the winner for sure. Gnome is another option if you want to do tinkering.
Personally though I don't think any race is so irredeemably bad for enchanter that it should dissuade you from being the one you prefer, especially because most of your problems are solved with levels anyway. Eventually you'll be able to farm/buy a goblin gazughi ring which is way better than hide for breaking charm, you'll become immune to your mez, and you'll get +50 CHA and +21 INT buffs.
