Ogres have the best starting stats but.. Youre ugly, fat, eat a lot, and that "cant be stun/bashed from the front thing is overrated.
Iksar best. No contest.
Iksar I don't think have better swimming, they just start at higher skill level.
Ogres have racial slam ability, which is a pretty big deal up until get stun on your kicks, and even then your bash/slam will still cap higher than kick, so you should keep using it. You also don't mention that iksar have the worst faction of any race. Iksar is also a bit harder to equip since they can't use a lot of the plate items in the game. Velious stuff helps but you'll probably have to pay a premium for it. There is also a 5% higher experience penalty for iksar.

I'd probably take an ogre if you aren't going to be able to super twink out your character and also plan to mostly stick to grouping. Since you aren't going to be raiding, it's really not going to make a ton of difference at the end of the day so don't lose too much sleep over what you pick. If you do change your mind about riading, that stun immunity becomes a lot more valuable, though.
