I would naturally tend to prefer elves, but I've never liked their foppishness and arrogance. And even less their fanclub. So, I've more sympathy for the dwarves.
But really, it's the gnomes I like. Short, but lean. Grumpy, but with a sense of humor. A good balance between law and chaos. Have a knack for spellcasting, for alchemy, for handling animals, and for gathering knowledge. But humble and unassuming.
However, I hate tinker gnomes. They're stupid. As much as a FR elf-lover would hate to see all elves in the Forgotten Realms depicted as keebler elves.
