If paladin is your favorite RPG class just make one. Starting on green is the time to do it when everyone is naked and broke together. Be warned that druid is overall going to be a more useful and versatile choice, and much easier if you are new to the game. Also, if you are new to the game don't assume you'll ever raid, you could quit before max level, decide you don't like EQ, or decide that EQ raiding isn't for you. If you are motivated enough to do raiding, you will get in somehow no matter your class.
As to the question, there's no perfect racial choice for druid, pick whichever one you like the best, maybe play around with starting cities before green launches too. Putting max into WIS then five into STA is the no brainer choice, there's not much reason not to on druid, your mana pool is everything.
