I think probably the xp penalty would be the least noticeable on your first play through. You don't have to worry about it if your always grouping though you will stay close enough in levels that it will never be a problem. I think you might be 50 and him 46 by the end... But I would say ogre for stats and 2h bash. Although a dark elf with the right hot keys can bash almost as effectively if their comfortable with the interface. In kunark there's a shield and mace that I think even the big races use all the time anyway so by then it surely doesn't matter.

If two people are always grouped together from level 2 onwards, they will reach 50 (or 60) at the same time since the EXP penalties are shared (in fact, this is probably the reason they're shared).
