So far I played 3 races for SK :
Human
Troll
Iksar
I would say Troll really makes it easier in the early levels for several reasons :
Grobb being right next to guk which gives you a place to xp from lvl 4 to lvl 50 with tons of loot and nice xp bonus + groups, you can come and go sell, get new spells etc in matter of minutes. My troll SK leveled from 1 to 35 really fast and quickly got a lot of plat due to often looting stuff like runed bone fork etc. Stats are nice and the regen bonus is a must.
Iksar SK is a pain in the ass early on. Faction sucks, limited armor to chose from.
However, when you reach the higher levels, and once Velious comes out, you will have a significant AC bonus, a regen and a unique epic which is one of the best 1handers in the game and much easier to get than Innoruk's curse.
Human SK's are cool for roleplay imo and xp faster...
And last but not least : Iksars have a normal size and won't need a guise in order to be confortable in many places. When playing a troll or Ogre If you can get a guise well that's cool but otherwise, you'll always struggle in many dungeons and it sucks.
