Dwarf, no contest, if all you care about is stats. None of the races offer anything like Slam or such, so stats are all that really matters, and Dwarves simply have more of the stats that matter most to Paladins. It's helpful to boost your Agility to 75 at creation if you make a Dwarf.
Since not everyone wants to be a short dwarf, other races present alternatives. Humans and Half Elves are about a tie for 'second' (the low wisdom doesn't affect them too badly), then High Elves, and Erudites are the worst choice stat-wise, but have a fair amount of race-specific stuff to boost them up some.
