I like Khajiit because they get a racial bonus for stealth. That combined with the medium armor stealth bonus, the champion point stealth bonus, and the three set bonuses (night mother's embrace, darloc brae, night terror) makes the Khajiit the only race that can hide so well that the NPC's can't see them at all. Once my Khajiit character gets Good-and-Hid, she can jump up and down in front of an NPC, wave, do a kiss-this... and the NPC doesn't see a thing. This really makes Khajiit the best thieves, able to rob Mathon Nosebreaker over and over and over... until I have 200 soul gems to take with me into Crimson Cove.
While Khajiit are my favorite for serious adventure playing and farming, my favorite character for social role play is my Argonian, who enjoys throwing mudballs at people under circumstances in which the splatee doesn't know who did it. It entertains me to see them look around, trying to spot the culprit. And when I'm under suspicion, I find that it is very cool to maintain plausible denial and try to deflect blame by saying stuff like:
"He went that way." /pointr
"Just ur imagination."
"Bastian, stop throwing mudballs."

My original race and alliance was Nord EP; I’ve race swapped about ….eh, 20 times since then… but I always come back to Nord (eventually). That being said, I chose Imperial because being part of the legion, suited and booted is always sexy (while I’m not a Nord anyways). Oh and England.

That one khajiit obsessed with werewolf behemoth and vampire lord. Lady Thorn is bae, dont @ me.
Werewolf behemoth=vampire lord>blood scion>werewolf>vampire.
Definitely Imperial... then Breton... then Bosmer... then Altmer
If I cannot create an attractive character, I cannot play them. I don't want to stare at an ugly character for thousands of hours and I hate wearing helmets because it just seems to create a disconnect with the character for me.
Imperial is great because it really can work for any class as the 6% cost reduction works with ALL costs including roll dodge, block, etc. Plus, Stamina always comes in handy when running, roll dodge, block... even for a Magicka class. Then add in the increase to health, health isn't just a 'tank' attribute, everyone needs health and the more the better. However, I play mostly Stamina builds so everything about Imperial benefits me.

I like most all the races except Orc and Argonian. But I always make a Redguard first, followed by Bosmer, Breton, Khajiit, Imperial. Later I add Altmer. Rarely use Dunmer or Nord.
