Barbs: not quite as large so they fit in places easier without using shrink, good race so they aren't kill on sight all over the place, decent wisdom
Ogres: huge str and stam. immune to bash stunning you from the front, which is really nice to not get your spells interrupted like other shamans. but they're enormous and evil
Trolls: high str and stam, faster regeneration (especially noticable at 51+). but they're very large and evil
Iksar: best wisdom, faster regeneration, innate AC bonus. but they're extra super duper evil and they can't wear some armor choices because of their scales
You really can't go wrong picking your race based on what they look like. Which one of these dudes do you like watching run around and cast spells the most? Cause that's what you're going to be staring at forever. They also have different appearances when they cast their bear form spell that they get at higher end from Velious.
You literally can't pick a bad shaman race. It's just up to you what mix of appearance and racial perks you prefer.
