I would take a Gnome over an Elf for a few reasons:

1)When you advance far enough, a +1 THAC0 doesn't matter much
2)They can survive longer (higher CON)
3)They can survive longer (+5 to Saves vs. Spells)
4)They're +1 to INT helps the Mage side of things a lot
5)In this game, the +3 AC is just awesome (of course they're both still going to get hit, but +3 is significant, and will help those Mirror Images and Stoneskins last longer)
6)They're just flat out cooler
