Picking Alliance Race

I'll get straight to the point and save alot of backstory. I'm interested in rolling one of every class and Paladin's up. I was wondering if Wowhead can help me pick out a fancy race for my tastes :D
PvP Race for Alliance Paladins?
I think this one's human due to the racials, however lately i've been reading that a Dwarf is effective to a degree due to the Mace racial they have. But the human's are added with better stealth detection (Is it worth it?) and Sword expertise as well. Can anyone tell me which would be more worthy?
PvE Retadin Race for Alliance Paladins?
This one I've heard the same Human Vs Dwarf debate however with a Draenei added into the mix due to the hit bonus aura. now I'm not to fancy into being a spacegoat. =p And I just want to grind out Dps numbers the highest I can using racials to save me horrible gemming problems and missing stat caps.
Here's a quick rundown of the important racials imo of the three races (Gun + for dwarves being one of the wasted ones for Paladins due to our inability to use ranged)
Humans:
Sword/Mace +, Spirit +, Rep +, PvP trinket Racial.
Dwarves:
Mace +, Stoneform (Important for Ret?)
Draenei:
Hit rating aura, Healing ability?

PvP Alliance = Human
PvE Ret = Draenai > Human > Dwarf
1% Hit > 0.75% Expertise, if you know to attack from behind.
Otherwise, you can't really go wrong with Human. Should make levelling easier, since you'll get your rep rewards much faster.

Squish, you forget - you don't have to be a space goat yourself to gain the hit bonus, whereas human expertise racial affects only yourself.
My 'best' gearset is aiming for 7% hit, since both 10 and 25man groups I run with usually have their fair share of draenei. And you can always lug around an extra item, Belt of Singing Blade in my case, to cover the loss if the goats are not present for some reason.
In short, roll human.

Wont this not matter next expansion?
I cant believe people still base their race choices on racials anymore. Back when wotf was op and perception was a pvp arena godly racial, things were different. But 1% to hit when leveling up isnt going to do JACK, not to mention picking a race based on how fast it will level is ridiculous, 1% matter when youre doing late game dungeons and you're likely to have 1% because its an aura either way.
Youre much better off basing your decision on
looks and animation.

Silversmith, that completely ignores everything up to raiding though. It makes a difference in heroics, it restricts your weapon types...
I dunno, I figure if you're going for ten 80s, you're not going to waste much time raiding with each one.

But then, you don't need that much hit in heroics, and even less outside them :)

My favorite is Dwarf, but i really dig human when they are prot, for AoE leveling. But if oyu are ret, still go for Human as well, cause while i love the space goats, the human animations and spells are just cooler, (I hate the draenei animations, thats why i hate playing my shaman XD)
Just don't make a sissy Paladin. *cough* Belf *cough*

My Paladin solo'd his Verigan's Fist quest. Who's a sissy?
Meh, what paladin doesn't? If that's your biggest claim at how much of a man your paladin is (though being a Belf, that's impossible), then you've got a long way to learn.

If neither of those set your world on fire, choose for looks. You're going to be spending a lot of time staring at your character's ass, make sure you like the view.
QFT and at that...Female Draenei Paladin.

Belfs have an amazingly OP racial for PvP. Otherwise, everything else is pretty much the same, just have different versatilities. Human for a bit more burst, dwarf to help against bleed/poison classes, draenei for a bit more self healing for solo work.

I think someone's a closet queer. Or maybe openly queer. Otherwise you must be a girl. Reguardless, that was rather lame....
The only reason I would roll a horde paladin would be for the extra interupt via racial.
