What kind of Fighter are you looking for?
Hobgoblin supports most kinds of Fighters pretty easily, but gets difficult to interact with, socially. If you're going for light support, a Hobgoblin Fighter/Rogue is pretty smooth.
Most Fighters (and most classes) benefit a lot from being Human, too. The extra skill is badly needed, and the extra feat is always useful.
If you're going to go Fighter/Cleric, you'll need a decent Dex to compensate for your crappy, crappy Reflex save. What god are you considering being a Cleric of?

Why a Fighter?
Is there any specific reason you want a fighter instead of a Paladin, Barbarian, Monk, or Ranger?
I suggest going for a Dwarven Fighter, and multi-classing into either Rogue (for the sneak attack and skills) or Cleric.
Alternativly, you could take a Human / Half Elven / Elven / Half Orc, and go for Fighter/Druid. Being able to Wild Shape and using a high BaB can get very fun very fast.

If you're a tank, go with a Dwarf fighter/cleric. +2 Con and +2 to Magic saves make Dwarves the best tanks in the game.
Consider a level of Barbarian for the extra speed and the Rage (the +2 to Will saves is especially useful). Your already high Con will ensure a nice long rage.

Re: choices
Believe San it's crossed my mind a lot.
Zath,
While dwarf is nice, I want something different...and the fact an Average Slitheren Con score is +6...makes dwarf a little weak. Though Half Ogre is only +4...it's not too bad.
Lord Z,
Reason is the party is a scouting party, and even scouts need a little support now and then. I would just go cleric...but I prefer not to be the "patch em" type. (Not how I enjoy the clerical class IMHO.) Barbarian is an option...but I want a little civility and/or just plain fighter powers.
Monks...Bleh. I'm sorry but I don't care much for monks in 3rd (no offense Kor!) If I go fighter/druid, it's only for the Slitheren. I prefer to remain "true" the ideals of where Slitheren came from.
If I go cleric, Kor, Probably be one of the martial gods. (Which ever one has War or else Retribution.)

I cast in my vote... Try to stay within the PHB and FRCS races, willya? Okay, half-ogre is still good, but I think gnolls and skaven are a bit too far out there, especially considering most of the group is not only good-aligned, but also trigger-happy. In addition, I would avoid making a gnoll character at this time, when Savage Species is just around the corner and we know they'll be statted as a character race in Unapproachable East. Other than that, I think the ideas presented here are sound and good. 
And for the rest of you... We play in the same campaign. The group is scouting detachment of a mercenary company. My character is a pyromaniac gnome with a gun fetish. Don't ask.
