As a starting player i chose a NE Hunter, because i tend to enjoy "ranger" types and this seemed like a natural choice.
But i would not be surprise that the amount of people that project their egos on their character looks would be significant enough to make a bias in the Alliance/horde population in that regard.
Well... it's true that Alliance characters are more physically appealing, especially the female ones.

But horde characters are nice too...

Orcs are big and muscular. Ironically they also seem less corrupted than humans.
Taurens have something noble to them. It's hard to explain, but playing one is really a good experience.
Who wouldn't like to play an undead?
Trolls are funny. I really liked playing one.

I often get the impression that the Horde are "the good guys". Orcs are trying to survive in an hostile world while trying to shake the demonic influence they have been under for so long. Taurens have always been noble and peacefull. The trolls are trying to survive and are also trying to follow in the orc's footstep. The forsaken are rebel against Arthas's army of undead.

The alliance? Human are scheming against each others and continuing their crusade of hatred against the orcs. Dwarves are seeking lore, night Elves are pursuing imortality, and gnomes are blowing things up and doing comic relief.

I don't know, Hordes characters seem way more fun to me, but then again I never thought of my character as me, as opposed to some of my pen and paper friends I used to play with.
