Stats: Dwarf, due to high sta and good MR and dex. Barb has higher str + sta but only marginally more sta and str gets capped out on both eventually without putting points into str. Also small race and barrel roll.
Slam: Barbarian. Also has good stats. Keep in mind slam is on same timer as backstab and thus rarely get used. Large race and sometimes has issues fitting in tight places without illusion. Has a small XP penalty.
Wallhack: Gnome. Gets tinkering. Weakest stats.
Vision: Every race can get DE mask easily. Only humans really struggle without it.
XP bonus: Halfling. Largely a wash in groups anyway but perhaps when compared to barb could be of some significance.
As such I think there are only 3 minmax choices. Dwarf, barb, gnome and in that order roughly.
