The only question then becomes what race would be good. I know regen is helpful for the shaman but Ogre just seems better for the shadowknight. I guess my biggest question would be is the regen from troll/iksar worth more then frontal stun immunity and better starting stats?
I'm just going to get him a full set of banded and a cheap 2 hander, and banded for my shaman with an inexpensive weapon. Want to make sure he sticks with it.

I think probably the xp penalty would be the least noticeable on your first play through. You don't have to worry about it if your always grouping though you will stay close enough in levels that it will never be a problem. I think you might be 50 and him 46 by the end... But I would say ogre for stats and 2h bash. Although a dark elf with the right hot keys can bash almost as effectively if their comfortable with the interface. In kunark there's a shield and mace that I think even the big races use all the time anyway so by then it surely doesn't matter.
