I had the same dilemma since I started here after kunark and I went with Iksar.
Honest tho, you probably can't go wrong with either race. The faction stuff is a pain and it would be nice if I didn't have to deal with it. The experience penalty sucks as well.
Is the night vision, regen, forage and ac worth it? I have no basis for comparison, but I couldn't imagine having to wait longer in between fights than I already do while soloing. Then again, you wouldn't have to kill as many things as I do as a Iksar....
I like some of the Iksar animations better (flying kick, feign) and some of the human animations better (walking, punching). Overall I think the Iksar look cooler. I realize that's a very personal opinion though.
Human monks do more damage unarmed, but who fights unarmed? You could probably get two fighting batons for under 800pp total (8/20 weapons vs 8/36 fists at my level) or camp a Iksar Berserker Club (worst camp ever).
It looks like the regen really takes off post 50, but I have no personal experience with that.
