Depends on what class you are, each race has its Ups and its Downs, Humans are pretty much the default kinda thing, but they can't dual class on creation.

The one that seems most interesting to you as a player, or the one that suits your imagined character role the best. If you fancy dwarves, or if you picture your stealthy thief as a halfling, choose whatever type of character you want to play.

There is no best or worst race in D&D, and the statistical differences are small. Pick: whichever race you want. Don't base your choice on stat bonuses.

I'd say the best race is indeed a gnome or dwarf because of the humongous saving throw bonus.

I think it depends on the character you will play. But for me: Elves, Half-Elves, Gnomes.
