Really you could be anything. There is a difference between a "tank" DK and a "DPS" DK. If you want DPS you may want to look at the dunmer for their increased fire damage.
If you want to tank:
an imperial, orc, nord, or redguard would work great
for dps:
Dark elf, khajiit, imperial, redguard, or orc would work
dark elf would be best personally cuz your fire dots will be super strong and you get a lot of magicka and some stam
magicka is used A LOT on a stam DK (shield, wings, fossilize, ect) so the 9% is great
Magicka DK is pretty strong now too if you want to consider that send me a message and ill give you info about them
Just to clarify this, the Imperial Edition allows you to select an Imperial for any alliance, but you are still locked into the 3 Alliance Races depending on what Alliance you have chosen. It is the Explorer Pack, IIRC now called the Adventurer's Pack, that allows any race in any alliance (but not Imperial unless you also have that Upgrade too)
Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

Good going, being locked into an Alliance based on the race you want is not something I wanted. Although it is kind of weird to hear about all the bad things that the race you have chosen have done in the war during some conversations.
