As for looks:
Dwarves, Half-Elves, Elves [Drow], Halfings, everyone else and then humans in the far back.
I wish I could make an older Gnome, grizzled and bearded. There's a cool scarred face for Halflings, I want something like that for Gnomes. Anyway.
Also, all tha player voices are really nice and sweet. I just can't make a grizzled Half-Orc with those voices.
As for Mechanics:
Half-Orcs, Wood-Half-Elves, Halflings, everyone else with Dwarves in the far back.
Now, I currently have a 'full movement for shorties' mod enabled, and that puts halflings in the front for me. The slow movement really kills the shorties for fun's sake, especially Dwarves since they didn't get anything like the humans did. But other than that, the halflings are awesome as Fylimar stated above. No 1's on a d20 is way more awesome than you think and getting into those small crevices and so forth makes a sneaky play really fun.
As for dialogue:
Drow, Tiefling, Half Orc and all the normal ones in the back. There's maybe one or two lines for a Dwarf, whereas *everyone* recongizes a Drow. BY the same token, you can pick Moradin as your deity - and it will never come up. Dwarves have really gotten the /short/ end of the stick. There's this bit where, as a n elf you can safely drink a sleep potion? I fully expected my Dwarf to have something similar at a certain bar where you can drink. Nope. None of that. Dwarves have been severely neglected.
They mentioned there's a lot of this for Dragonborn before release, but I haven't played one yet. I suspect Githyanki and Deep Gnomes will have a fair number of things to say, but again, not played them yet.
