I say it hardly matters because it has no significant effect on your ability to do your job.

You're simply falling into a trap if you start thinking you have to pick an ogre or else suck at your job. You're free to your opinion though; if picking an Ogre gives you more confidence and makes you think you'll be better at your job, well, then you'll like the character better and do a better job just for that reason alone.
What race you pick, even what class you pick, pales in comparison to the guy behind the keyboard. If you suck, picking an Ogre won't fix it. If you're competent, you'll still be competent even if you're a Gnome or an Erudite. Pick what you like.

Additionally, if you play an ogre, you can kiss Najena, Solb and some other dungeons goodbye. There is no super race or super class. Since 1999 the forums have had this question over and over. This game is designed to give no free rides. Yes, I am aware that every class you play is underpowered and every class you do not play is overpowered, or your main's class is overpowered but only because you are so incredibly leet, but everything is largely balanced. Pick what you want and master it. If you have aggro problems, get a Jstick. Tash is outstanding aggro and unresistable. If you play a paladin mash blind. A blinded mobs behavior is to attack whoever is closest or flee if no one is in combat range. Effectively giving you a cheap root in mob behavior that doesn't mess with snare/flee behavior, like root does.
