I always play humans, and when I DM everyone always plays humans. I honestly don't think anyone has the perspective to play someone who can expect to live for 3000 years, so elves are out, and they are but the most extreme of the demi humans.
For me, much as I loathe to admit it, my favorite type is "The Tank", be it the heavily armored, incredibly strong fighter with a two handed sword, or the Greataxe slinging barbarian with the three figure hit point total.
Subtlety is nice if you think on your feet well, but 6' of iron is a pretty powerful argument, and I am an insightful, but slow thinker.
