Stamina Nightblade: Imperial or Bosmer?

Shesmu

Hey guys I'm making a stamina nightblade and I'm curious what everyone's opinions are on these two races. I've read a ton of posts on here and Reddit and I'm still undecided so I'll probably just flip a coin at this point. I've never played an Imperial in any Elder Scrolls games and I usually play Bosmer or Breton so I'm actually leaning towards Bosmer at this point.. Anyway..

So Imperials have extra health and extra stamina, and can restore health every now and then from melee attacks.
Bosmer have crazy stamina regeneration at 21%, extra damage while stealthed, stealth range and poison/disease resistance.

I want to play a sneaky archer who ganks people in Cyrodiil. That's one reason I'm leaning towards Bosmer. Sneaking and sniping (I assume that extra damage works with snipe if you're stealthed) people sounds like it'd be fun. Plus I was planning on going Werewolf for the stam regen even though it's being changed in the Imperial City patch.

Would the Imperial's extra health and stamina trump the stamina regeneration or are they about equal, just different playstyles?

I read on one post how that much stamina regeneration would take forever to get with champion points but I haven't even hit veteran yet so I haven't gotten any champion points and don't really understand them yet.

So basically I'm asking which race you guys prefer out of these two. I don't want to play a khajiit or redguard, even though they're both really good too.

Would you go Imperial for more health and stam, or bosmer for stam regen and more damage out of stealth? Is there anything I'm missing?

My Bosmer NB is a lot of fun to play. Bow for ranged and DW for closeup.

Bosmer by far. Imperial is a balanced class, basically good for everything.
But 2 Bosmer passives highly benefit stamina Nightblades

Better sneak, 9% more sneak damage
Huge Stamina Regeneration, 21% more
And 3% more stamina.

Yea, Imperials have 7% more stamina, so more overall damage. But Bosmer perform much better for Nightblade.
This is the safest decision.

And to be honest I have a Bosmer NB at level 40 but he's way too buff. I don't know how long they're going to take to add an appearance change to the crown store, if they ever do. So I was thinking about remaking him, and just making him skinnier. But I figured until then maybe I would go Imperial instead. Thanks to you guys and tons of other people I think I'll stay Bosmer. Now I just need to figure out if I want to stay Aldmeri Dominion.

Yes you do want that ! No need to think about this
EDIT: I'm in the Aldmeri Dominion. I'm sure this makes the decision easier haha

Haha, thanks. I'm only conflicted because a buddy of mine (admittedly bias) keeps telling me how Daggerfall Covenant has better PvPers but AD has better numbers. Plus I'm so tired of seeing High Elves, snarky turds.

I've only pvped for like.. 2 hours? I was in the Non Vet campaign and the people in chat were kind of rude and kept accusing each other of being spies. It was annoying as a new player. I had no idea what to do. I'm hoping it gets better in other campaigns.

Oh and do you know any good PvP guilds? I haven't found one yet. I can find 30 trading guilds but no pvp guilds.
