Iksar are statistically better in every way* but suffer a higher exp penalty and aren't welcome anywhere except Cabilis. The exp penalty is pretty inconsequential, especially if you ever solo where the extra regeneration easily makes up for it, and the faction restriction hardly matters because a) most gameplay goes on in Kunark anyway and b) you just don't need to go to cities much and you can fix your faction anyway with a bit of work. If you aren't a newbie, the faction is almost completely irrelevant. If you are a newbie, you might find it a little challenging. Iksar is the best race in terms of game mechanics, and by a fair margin. Humans were never good at anything.
*except that humans have 1 less delay on their naked h2h attack, which is completely irrelevant. They have slightly more str/sta, but that's nothing compared to the regen and bonus AC of iksar who also have much better agi/dex.
