SK is super fun for all sorts of reasons—3 fds, instant invis, on demand aggro, pet, fear, snare, etc. In general for small group, hybrids are more useful unless you really need disc (not really a small group thing) or your warrior has lots of toys. At the high end, they play significantly different though. As an SK, the pulling and tagging element becomes a lot more of the focus, so if you're not into that and just want to tank get thee to a warrior.
As for race, don't over think it. Ogre is good for a raiding warrior, but pretty meh for SK. Warriors need to move raid mobs around and getting stunned makes that harder. SKs just tag shit and run around or tank easy trash in camp—frontal stun isn't a concern. For war, if you're just casually grouping, I prefer a more utility race like Halfling as sneak and hide are super handy when you have no other abilities.
Just remember there's no wrong answer and enjoy the journey.
