Well, it really depends what you want to do.

Thief = Khajiit/Wood Elf
Magic = Dark or High Elf/Breton
Warrior = Imperial/Orc
Good all-round = Nord/Redguard
I have never tried an Argonian, but they are immune to disease, and highly resistant to poison... And have water breathing (bonus!!)

A good all round person:

Race = Imperial/Redguard
Preference = Combat
Attributes = Strength & Agility/Speed
Skills = Athletics, Acrobatics, Alteration, Blade/Blunt, Block, Heavy/Light Armour, Marksman.

FOR MASTER SNEAK:

OK, join the Dark Brotherhood, but DONT kill Rufio...yet (mwahaha). In his room, face the wall and sneak into it, then brace the joystick with something, and go have a coffee or something. Come back every half hour or so, because when your skill increases, a message will come up and you have to press 'A'. In about 2 or 3 hours (real time) youll be a master sneaker.
