I like all of them, but I prefer the Lizardfolkmenpeople for a few reasons:
- Goblins and Hobgoblins have evil alignment baggage that often leads them to be RP the same 2 ways i.e. "evil PC wants to kill and pillage" or "I am against my own race because I'm not evil enough"; Lizardfolks have more RP freedom
- Goblins are not that different from small savage humans and Hobgoblins from big savage humans; Lizardfolks are reptiles and this implies interesting practical differences (think eggs and cold blood -> very different from mammals). Of course this is irrelevant to morons who think lizardfolks female have breasts, but that's another story.
- Lizardfolk offer a lot more options to a DM who wants to differentiate them in the fantasy world: just pick a different kind of lizard (gekos, iguana, chameleon, komodo...) from a biology book and you easily have a new lizardfolk subrace. Heck, you could even just color-code them!

I'm glad the bugbear's dead. One almost 1-shot me in Lost Mines the other day (15 damage to a 9 health character).
That said it was the rioting goblins (that we instigated) that got the killing blow on the SoB, so they get a free pass this time.
