My opinion on this subject has been well documented in the Casters subforum version of this post, so I wont go into that again.
However, if you do go Iksar and you have issues finding merchants, I did add a section to my guide that is a list of each merchant I could find (or was told about and confirmed to work) that a necromancer can use to sell. All of these were tested with Iksar, so it should work for other races... Should.

Hopefully that helps to curb the difficulty of Iksar racial faction.
If anyone else knows of any merchant that is a no-faction or friendly necro faction, let me know and I'll add it.
