I think most of us are here for the fun/nostalgia, so really pick what makes you happiest. That being said...
Ogres by far have the best stats, as well as frontal stun immunity(holy shit that's awesome). Trolls have regen which can make soloing at the start an easier pill to swallow, but who wants to solo as a warrior anyway.
If you don't like being an ugly ogre or troll, pick a barbarian. They only have a -5% exp bonus, compared to -20%(I think) for ogre and troll and they still get slam.
Those are the 3 races that get slam, which interrupts casting. Slam gives these guys such a huge advantage over the smaller races that unless your only concern is looking pretty, there is no reason to choose anything other than one of these 3.
As far as stats, you are a tank. Dump your points into stamina. Some things to be aware of: You get a big AC boost for having 75+ agility. Str not only determines whether you will get encumbered(and thus lose the agi bonus), but also the damage you do. Dex affects how often weapons will proc as well as how often you Critical hit.
Personally I would make an ogre warrior, dump all my points into stamina, and search primarily for ac or sta gear, and if it comes with some str or dex its a bonus.
