If I was picking between Ogre and Troll I'd pick Troll every time. That regeneration would be nice when I find myself feigned somewhere at low health, while in more than four years of playing my SK I can't recollect encountering a situation where being stunned from a bash made any significant difference (oh no, I re-cast a spell, big deal). Large races start out with better stats--a legitimate advantage--but in the long run gear can eventually make up for most of that as well. The experience penalties carried by the large races mean that a level 53 Dark Elf is still stronger as a tank than the level 51 Troll for the same number of hours invested in the character.
Of course I'm not a Troll, I'm a Human, so I don't get either of those benefits. In the end it doesn't matter overmuch. My SK (its named Andoric, I think you know him) still does everything I reasonably expect it to do. Dark elves would give fine service as well. Pick the race you like because if you don't you won't like the character anyway.
