I have 3 favorite races:
-Wood Elf
-Redguard
-Breton
In Skyrim, my favorite race has been Breton because they get the Conjuration bonus and start with an extra summon spell. I am a fan of Necromancy and summoning in fantasy, so I am enjoying playing a Breton to get bonuses to that.
I like Wood Elves because I'm also a fan of Druid style characters. Unfortunately, you can't really play "Druid" in Skyrim, but I still like the Wood Elves.
Also a character type I was thinking about playing (that unfortunately didn't work out too well due to the fact that you can't really play a Druid) is a Necro-Druid type of character - one who is in tune with the forest and nature, but also has a command over supernatural spirits. I believe that a Wood Elf fits that roleplay best.
And Redguard because, well, they are just badass. I probably like them best in Oblivion, because I love the Adrenaline Rush ability better in Oblivion than I do in Skyrim (and I don't really recall what exactly it is in Morrowind), but my Oblivion character was a Redguard and I loved it.
I'd say currently my favorite race is Breton, but it fluctuates between Breton, Wood Elf, and Reguard, with honorable mention to Dark Elves.
