It won't affect leveling much whatever you pick, all 4 of the sham races are viable:
Barb- 5% XP penalty, +10 cold resist, can use spirit hammer
Iksar- 20%penalty, ac bonus, regen, can't use totemic/ jb stuff, resist modifiers. ..i think it's-10cr +5 fr or something. Stone of Morid great range resist item, and symbol of thule great leveling item
Troll- 20% penalty, -20fr, regen, can use jb, Access to thule or innoruuk clickies
Ogre: 15% penalty, frontal stun immunity, consume food and drink faster
Don't think jbb is a huge deal past level 50, especially once you get torpor, as with GCD cooldown you can canni so fast it's more time efficient to dot and canni. I picked troll back in the day and love it, but if I had started in velious I would lean more toward iksar now
